Just because they're not blinking the disk lights
enough
for you to see (btw there ARE NO DISK LIGHTS on Suns, Vaxes
and some other systems we're talking about) doesn't mean there are not
half-writen files that will lose data in the queue to be written.
But of course I turn the programs off before flicking the switch!
Also, on some older systems there's the risk of
Write Current being
asserted during disk controller power down causing spiral write (write
current and write gate asserted while disk seeks to track 0 on
controller reset.

You're being a bit clue< here.
=?
You can swap PC keyboards and mice hot until you
happen
to blow the 5 volt fuse... and then you learn YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO.
Most PCs which I've had the !pleasure to work with haven't taken lightly to
anything but having a keyboard plugged in before being turned on, then never
removed.
Geez.
If the critical application has a file open and it
loses it when you
pull the power in an unexpected manor you could lose data.
While I don't agree with the programmer, I take care to turn off actual
programs. That should however be enough IMNSHO.
