warning stupid question alert

Hi all

I was working under my machine and had the bottom cover off and i saw something that looked strange and that it would be fun to see the answers to the following.
The round indentation in the bottom of the machine that you see when the bottom cover is off. What do you think it was for or what it might be for in the future?

My guess is an auto bit selector so the bit can be chosen by the software and then loaded automatically, just a wild fun guess. can't wait to here all the ideas, maybe there is some one out there that really knows what it is/was for.

Thanks for the fun
Tim

That is great, but not so funny since here in southern Ohio that is how they power out internet.
It is nice there is some other crazy people out there beside me.
Thanks

It's obviously a cup holder, similar to the retractable ones on a PC...
