Ron, just a caution, so long as there are no disk writes pending, you can turn off the machine. I always make sure that I wait ten seconds, while looking my disk activity light, before I turn off the machine. The machine may not be writing, but still have a write pending, when you turn it off. Rare, but it does happen, as I can have repeatedly verified! "You do trust me, don't you? Of course you do." — "To Play the King" (BBC)
