I have been shutting them down for the last several years on different
platforms and different machines and have had no problems. At one time it
may have been good advice for older hardware and unix type systems, but I
believe myself that the heat buildup and memory leak situation in Windows
9.x makes it possibly more damaging to leave them running. This has been
an ongoing debate for years, but experience tells me it doesn't hurt to
shut them down. I've tried it both ways.

Hahn was rumoured to have uttered....
| Recently I read that it was a good idea to leave
| the computer on 24/7.
| Earlier I had read that this was not a good idea. Leaving on
| 24/7
| would facilitate some task scheduling, but... What do you
| experts
| recommend?
|
| TIA.
