"it is now safe to turn off your computer." functions as a safety
utility. There are many dangers beyond the protective sphere of your
glowing computer screen, and, were you to turn the machine off at the
wrong moment, you might risk injury, death, or worse.
Michael Daines used the expert guidance of a legal professional to
determine the most probable and dangerous dangers and when they are most
likely to occur. The result is this helpful ultility-artwork, which
reaffirms one of the Internet's primary lures: in here, you are safe.
