Apple Macintosh LC - Manual (Page 17)

Shutting down the computer is a little more complicated than simply flipping
the on/off switch. Before you flip the switch you need to tell the computer
to prepare to be shut off; the computer needs to do some house-cleaning
chores to prepare to start up next time.
Follow these steps to learn the proper way to shut down the computer:
1. Choose the Shut Down command from the Special menu.
Go ahead and choose Shut Down even if you plan to continue immediately with
the next chapter. You'll be guided through restarting the computer when you
get there.
You choose the Shut Down command just like any other command. Position the
pointer on the menu title (Special), press the mouse button and drag down to
the command (Shut Down), and release the mouse button.
This command tells the computer to prepare to be shut off. When the computer
is ready to be shut off it displays a screen that tells you it's OK to flip
the switch.
2. Press the bottom of the on/off switch on the back of the computer to shut
the computer off.
The screen goes blank and the computer is shut off.
Next steps
This is the end of Chapter 3. The next few pages review what you have learned
in this chapter. Look over the review to reinforce what you have learned. If
you discover that you are unsure of any of the items covered, go back through
the pages in this chapter that discuss those items.
When you have done that, you can take a rest. Or, if you feel ready, continue
with the next chapter to learn how to use application programs on your
Macintosh.
