Hello Wayne -

WC> CNTRL - ALT - DEL may not be an elegant way to close a

WC> That said stay with what you're comfortable with. 

WC> I'm leaving Windows behind so it won't be an issue for me. 

The probability that you will continue to read/write to FAT12
floppies is high. Even though people like to complain about
Microsoft and poke fun at DOS it is very much in use, exists in
the vicinity of almost every home computer and will for the
foreseeable future. :-)
