Re: Computer Shutdown
I put undecided.
I am fully aware of the DANGERS of unsafely turning off your computer, but... I have on numerous occasions (ok maybe daily) turned off my computer forcefully, without a problem (to my knowledge.) Just make sure your computer isn't 'busy' or reading/writing to the disk. As long as everything is safely written to the disk, and the head is off the surface, I can't see anything bad going on (some corrupted temporary data... big deal?) So my IT Admin self says 'NEVER turn it of improperly', but my gut says 'Just make sure the disk isn't writing.' Jacob
