... although you say "I wouldn't physically power down a peripheral
with the system running," my very strong guess is that you do it with
printers, as almost all of us do very frequently.

Nope, mine is always powered up. Maybe I'm showing my age,
and modern systems are more tolerant, but I was once taught to
always power peripherals up first, then the system, and the same
in reverse for powering down, and it's stuck. The rationale was
that the system might suffer in unspecified ways from the
transients. Mind you, I've never seen an actual negative effect
from a power cut, where _everything_ powers down and later
up together. As somebody else wrote, I probably worry too
much. :)
