This section discussed a problem I have struggled with for years. Since the time I recieved my first computer I have always wondered what was the best way to turn it off. This section talked about cold boots versus hard boots. I have always thought that turning off your computer is turning off your computer. What is the difference whether you press the power button, hold the power button or press control, alt, delete.
I realize that each one of these ways causes the computer to turn off in a different way. Holding the power button makes it go off quickly and automatically, while pressing control, alt, delete does it in a slower way. When I am in a time crunch I always just go with the fast solution, but is this hurting my computer? What is the best way to turn your computer on and off without causing damage to the computer?
Also, I used to have a PC and now I have a Mac. Does this change anything? Are there better ways of turning of a Mac versus turning off a PC? I am very interested to learn the correct ways to turn my computer on and off without causing damage.
Until next time,
Z
