For the life of me, I can't remember what specifically the "O" and the
"I" stand for on the power on/off switch, such as on a power supply.
I googled but found nothing that spelled it out clearly.

I'm assuming "O" stands for "Off" and "I" stands for "On", but would
like to know what the nomenclature "O/I" actually stands for.  Years
ago (I thought) I knew, but just can't remember ... getting old here!
