Maybe it depends on which Mac you have (an older one where the power
supply might go out) and where you live (earthquake prone areas).

I shut off the Mac II at work so my hard disk is not positioned inappro-
priately in case of an earthquake. 

Recently, when the power supply went on the 512+ at home, I suspect that
my not catching it in time contributed to the additional damage suffered
by the Monster Mac memory upgrade. 

But I'd like to hear what others think also.
