Ron: I think it all goes back to that thing on whether the jolt of the on / off process has a wear and tear effect on the electronics. I have seen both schools of thoughts in the computer world - turn computer off at night - leave em running. Maybe a job for myth-busters?

We shut them off, I think of it like this, anything electronic has a life to the components. The longer electricity is flowing through the circuitry then the faster it will have a component burn out and cause the system to fail. Maybe by shutting off the Amaya I can gain some more up time before something burns out? Maybe its a few extra years or a few extra minute, who knows but we take the precaution.
