I run my 2300 in its Duo Dock II most of the time. I normally don't shut it down overnight, primarily to avoid the need to restart & setup the files that I'd been previously using. Sometimes I shut the display off, for no particular reason other than to save power. The HD continues to run, I think, due to the fact that I'm connected to the @home network. Question: Since the hard drive doesn't shut down during the long periods of non use, would it be better (considering the life of the HD) to shut the system down overnight & then re-start it in the morning or is the useful life of the HD so long that it really doesn't matter? ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
