    This one reason why you should always properly shutdown your system
before turning off the power.  This gives the RamFAST enough time to
flush the cache, eject disks/flopticals, etc.  Better yet would be to
leave your CPU and HD on all the time, and turn on the monitor/modem
only when you need it.
