removing speakup from memory?

[Al Sten-Clanton]

I read long ago that if you used the button to shut down Linux you'd 
likely damage your system.  I gather it was the same with Windows.  Now, 
when need be, I can shut the machine off using the button without doing 
any harm that I know of.  I guess somebody figured out they'd better 
cover that base, since sometimes the button's the only way out.

I wish I had a coffeemaker like Kyle's.  It would save me a lot of trips 
to our attics, where our computers reside.  :--)
