Booting up a couple of times a day will not hurt your machine.

Even major PC manufacturers have at times advised to use it on laptops only.

I always do a full shutdown.
Your PC will be obsolete before its killed with shutdown/restarts.

189124 2003-11-07 03:36:00 i find hibernate is faster. i have 128mb ram and 800mb free hd space. as i have no hardware that didnt come with the pc apart from speakers i an all right :) Megaman (344)
