<p>A power supply system (11) for a general purpose computer has plural power supplies (A and B) for powering selected groups of components. One of the power supplies serves a keyboard (25) and a keyboard controller (23), and the keyboard controller (23) is configured to turn the other power supply or supplies on and off in response to user input at the keyboard.
