[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 394157, member: 16911"] There's no real difference between forcing applications to quit and waiting for shutdown than just turning off the power. I've always just held down the power button and powered down, and I still do it with my iMac. The only thing is to let all activity cease first. You don't want to cut the power when the hard drive is still writing. [/QUOTE]
