I have always thought that the CPU should be "last on and first off" because
any connected peripherals (monitor, printer, scanner...) might cause a surge
as they are activated or deactivated.  If the CPU is turned on last, it is
less likely to intercept these surges.  Likewise if the CPU is turned off
first it will miss them again.  Is this correct?
