[QUOTE="dotdotdot, post: 1482347, member: 280973"] All the Windows machines, especially the early ones I've had, came with strict instructions to do proper shut downs (click through icons, for example). A big faux pas was to not shut down via the power strip. My Mac didn't come with shut-down prohibitions in the instructions. So is it safe to just shut down with the power switch? Why I want to do this is because all my peripherals are on the power strip; I turn it off after I do the proper shut down, but it would be so much easier to just snap the switch off. My use is casual, so if 'lost data' is an issue, I don't care. My main concern is corrupting the OS (not a concern with Mac?). [/QUOTE]
