One point. If you have a hard disk you may benefit from the new shutdown.

Under the special menu:

	Restart		The *old* shutdown.
	Shutdown	Stops after the shutdown, and says it's
			OK to turn off the computer. There is
			a restart button in case you change your mind.

Two negative points for *floppy only* systems:

	1. The fattening trash can. If you have ejected the system
	disk when you trash something for another disk it'll force
	you to insert the system disk to get the icon. If it's the same
	drive it'll clear the trash. Mark the icon in the finder as
	'preload' with Resedit to prvent this.

	2. If you have ejected your disks when you select shutdown
	it will force you to insert the disk to get the resource.
	Of course, since you have already ejected the disks you
	could just turn the computer off anyway.

Other than that it works fine on my 512Ke.
