I have unplugged most of these without trouble while the computer was on.
The only one I would caution on would be with the printer. I "think" it
depends on the printer (others can verify for me), but I have unplugged a
printer once while both were on and I ended up frying the board in the
printer. This was a Tektronics Phaser 220i. Other printers, specifically
ink-jets, may not be vulnerable to this sort of problem, or printer
manufacturers may be doing more to protect them these days. This was about
5 years ago. Oh, and I have "heard" that you can ruin a PS/2 style mouse by
unplugging it hot, but I have never had or seen it happen. Hope this helps.
