I've been using PC's since 286. At work we leave them on, at home I shut them off. Doesn't seem to to make any difference it reliability. If anything I think the work ones tend to burn out before home ones. Both usually outlast their useful technology life. I have a bunch of CRT's you want em? Dust tends to kill them and the longer they are on the more dust they pull in. Fans tend to burn out running 24/7 too. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35792 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
