Thanks Druck. On my FAST m/c Iris often does not close nicely. I get an
message (I cannot get to where I stored it at the moment). If Iris is
running still on the icon bar when I shut down it often stiffs the
machine so the shutdown sequence does not complete and I just have to
power off. Could this be having dire consequences for the SSD?
