About 2 years ago two different people (both techs) said "you have cats, don't you?" after opening up the case and at about the same time I found out that one didn't need to shut down a PB. The only computers I'd heard about running successfully for days on end were Amigas rendering something. Anyway, I now shut down my PB at night and always cover it with some plastic wrap when not in use. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
