| 652929 | 2008-03-26 09:50:00 | Well it helps prevent monitor burn in (screensavers don't do their job these days) And theoretically helps with the longevity of the monitor. These days I just use xx mins shut off the monitor... I must be sensitive, with my ADSL router I still cannot sleep... haven't got a wireless card yet for my computer, well .. I preferred it wired :D |

| 652931 | 2008-03-26 14:12:00 | Desktop & laptop usually go off at night (I voted yes), everything else stays on . Ok - to go off on a slight tangent, of those Servers that are left on all the time, how often do you bounce them? Not counting OS updates that require a reboot . . . . Never, unless I'm doing a kernel upgrade or replacement . There's simply no need . |

| 652935 | 2008-03-26 22:12:00 | Server stays on 24/7 non stop as I host my own private forum, my friends from overseas will start to complain if they can't get on. My PC get to sleep when I'm at work and stays awake during the night. |

| 652937 | 2008-03-26 23:25:00 | I send mine to sleep usually when I do...but I know that a reboot is necessary for updates and M$ stuff to sometimes take effect, so it's a beneficial thing to shut them down at least every 24 hours or so... Saving electricity? BAH!...Burn another forest or a ton of coal!!! |
