    Well done v8!
    I am super anal about that as well!
    It always pains me to hear the "BZZLLT!" after shutting down- like I just stabbed it with a knife!
    I hope WOZ will do a cycle down before it cuts complete power.
    That would be music to my ears...

    If you had a brand new machine and turned it off every time your done......it would take 30 years to look like a routed one does after 10.

    Protect your investment...install Led's and turn it off after use.

    Hopefully you properly 'pegged' them donjagra and didn't saftey-pin them like the rest of the Jack(hole)bots!
    I still have some Z-Cavaricci's if you want to borrow them...

    Quoted from Loupie:

    especially during thunder storms pull the plug.

    Good call Loupie!

    I have been meaning to do that too gweempose...
    But I get lightning (on average) only three times a year.
    I guess it would help me when I am playing all my pins (simultaneously) and the rolling brown-outs start up again in the summertime.

    So many projects!
