But of course I turn the programs off before
flicking the switch!
Well, you see, there is/are some program(s), called the "operating
system", that you aren't turning off. You turn it off by running
the shutdown procedure.
Why would I turn off the OS? It's just running there and has no business
on my
disks.

Through the OS, but that doesn't mean that the OS in itself should ever touch
my disks.

Questa sigla e' una figata!!! Un bel pezzo dance per un bel cartone dance!!!
Pensate che la scorsa frase non abbia senso? Bah!, nemmeno mettere questa

The primary lesson to be learned here is that all actions have
consequences. So as long as you're prepared to accept the consequences
(and hopefully not harm anyone in the process), it's not really a problem.
Iggy, I'd imagine that if the stakes get a little higher at some point in
the future, and if you stick with UNIX as an operating system, you'll
change your practices a bit and live with the burdensome inconvenience of
typing in the `shutdown' command.

Consequences? I just pretend that there aren't any.

I accept UNIX as long as I don't have to be too direct with it. It has got its
good points, but really is at its best stuffed away into a cooled, UPS-
equipped cabinet, or at least in a dark corner where I don't have to encounter
it.

Well, I can accept some quirks in old hardware and software, but now it's year
2001, and computers should get out of their 70's "sync sync sync" rut.
