You might consider leaving your computer on 24/7. It will > probably become outdated long before it craps out. Computers last longer if they're up 24/7. The hardest time for the hardware (esp. hard drives and fans) is startup, and the hardest time for the CPU is shutdown (the fan stops, so heat is trapped near the processor until it dissipates naturally). Just about every hardware failure I've ever had has been when bringing a machine back up after a shutdown (planned or unplanned). -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/ascii / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
