Very old school, Glenn. While it certainly couldn't hurt to unplug
there is the convenience factor. My computer is on all the time, even
at night when I'm sleeping. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night
and feel the urge to look something up or check my email. I might wander
over to the computer at any time.
I do turn it off when I go away for more than twenty-four hours, but
I don't unplug. If I'm going away for more than a weekend I'll turn off
the power strip.
But most of the time it's not only turned on, but it's running Firefox
and connected via DSL. It's waiting for me.
