## FWIW; I have all on a power strip. I turn off the CoCo then the power
strip. Reverse to boot, although I wait for the hard drives to spin up
before turning on the CoCo.

## Rub them with a pencil eraser first, then a lint free cloth with
denatured alcohol. If they are "gold" plated, just clean them with the lint
free cloth with denatured alcohol.

## It works for me. My GF has ME on her machine. It's been a PITA, but,
she's enamored with the thumbnails for her photo folders. They also made a
half-hearted attempt to hide DOS under ME. It's there, just a bit harder to
get to.
