So, in your experience, what went wrong in the Macs?

Be a keyboard master and hit control+eject button. To sleep immediately hit option+command+eject button.

I don't really have a problem with those. I close the lid when I want it to sleep. But Apeintheshell: I was talking about the Apple menu items "restart" and "shutdown". You don't hit those by accident, I think.

What if there was a natural disaster like rocks falling on your roof and one came through, hit you on the back of the head, and your hand slipped and moved the mouse all the way to the shut down menu. With your last breath you whispered, "no!!" as the computer shut down and lost all of your work. It wasn't your last breath and from now on you use the control-eject key commands.
Thanks for the key commands btw Satcomer.

Yea but...

What if there was a natural disaster like a power outage, and as you see the light goes out, with your last breath you whispered, "no!!" as the computer shut down and lost all of your work.

Yea, only if there is a dialogue box: "Power outage initiated, cancel or allow?"
