We have had to pull our 3b2's plug many times because the automatic
powerdown sequence failed to work.

The 3b2's shutdown is *not* reliable, or else we wouldn't be forced to
pull it's plug so often.

p.s. in light of the grossly disappointing performance of the 3b2, we
     are now quite happy to pull it's plug ... permanently.  (Flames
     from AT&T will be discarded so save your breath, guys.)
