Its called "Shut Down" and it isn't exactly a button, it's a menu item. It's on all new Macs and most Macs since the Mac II series. It shuts the OS down and then turns off the computer. I also have a program whos only function is to play a sound and shut the computer off. It's mostly for a prank. You put it in a friend's Mac's Startup Items folder so when the computer turns on, the OS loads, plays a sound, and turns off again. Drives em nuts every time. -- Hotel California Hotelca@cris.com
