I'm curious: May I conclude that it is not necessary or desirable to  
"Eject" the Target computer before shutting it down? That's what I  
always do, though I no longer have any idea where I came up with the  
notion that it was important. I wonder now if it's been an  
unnecessary step for me to take.
