 I respect Apollo most for their solution.
On the early models we had they had a soft shutdown
switch right where the power switch was.  You hit that
one and it does the preliminaries and then off.
>>>One button<<<, just the way it should be I think. 
The AT&T 3B2 does this too. Very nice indeed. I wish more machines
had this feature. My old DEC 486 laptop did it even better: you hit the
switch, it goes off instantly, and when you hit the switch again
it came right back up where it was, no rebooting, no scratching on
the disk, just instant on. Amazing.
Kees.
