All:

What is the consequences of just flipping the power switch rather than using the ShutDown command on these two Compact Macs: (1) Mac Plus using floppies; (2) Mac SE/30 with HD?

It's not a question of losing the project that I am working on, these are computers that my children play on using MacPaint (they really enjoy it). I'm thinking with the SE/30, it would be best for the HD to use the ShutDown command, but for the Mac Plus, there's probably no harm as there's nothing moving when it is powered off.

Thanks,

D
