I believe that if you use the Shut Down command from the menu
the system will flush the cache to disk and things should be fine for you to
then turn off the mac.  If you don't do this I believe that you may lose
things.  This is primarily for HD users.  I would hope that for floppies the
cache would be flushed when a disk is ejected.  Of course, if it is flushed
when an application returns to the finder/desktop this is all meaningless...

In general, DO NOT just use CMD-SHIFT-1/2 to eject disks and turn the Mac
off when you are still in an application, but you have saved & closed your
document.  Return to the desktop, Shut Down, and then turn the Mac off.
