sequoias said::P I never shut down my computer either, and it's on 24/7. Unless, I'm gone for a few days.

Its much easier for me to just sit down and surf than to wait for PC to boot up! Whats more computer tend to last longer if left on almost all the time. That is because with them being running all the time the temperature stays stable, less expands and contracts on parts. If PC is shut off and on several times, it cools down and warms up it just expands and contracts til it snaps. The only exception is monitor, it DOES have finite life. The longer it is left on, it will burnt out sooner.
Just same idea as paperclip if you bend it back and forth several times it WILL break off.

Miss-Delectable said:Gosh, what a waste of electricity! Your electricity bill must be higher than normal, no?
As for me, I don't put the computer and ADSL on all day. Mum'd kill me.
ladycaissa said:Actually it's cost the same to leave the computer on...it takes more engery turning on and off the computer...in long run it all equates out.

Deaf 258's computer is right by the couch. Deaf 258 sat on the floor, sitting front of the couch and browsing around the internet. My husband was sleeping and his legs were right front of Deaf 258's head. About 2 or 3 am... it was pretty late. All of sudden my husband kicked Deaf 258s head.. i mean HARD! Deaf 258 puzzled and said OOOOWW! but my husband was still sleeping. then a while later, he did it again!! He hit Deaf 258 s head harder!
My husband woke up and realized that he hit him hard and asked Deaf 258 if he was ok. After Deaf258 said yeah, suddenly, my husband went to back to bed. I thought it was hilarous.
I would leave my laptop on, but the light would wake me up in the night!
