Lee, and you all-- thanks for all this insight. I shall need a life extension to study all of this, But seriously, is it better to leave your computer on constantly? I thus far I usually turn mine off at night, but then, maybe I should only shut it off when thunderstorms hit, also because you once told us , that in the wee hours of the night, all maintenance is being done. I just think that somewhere one is wearing out the equipment through constant usage. And as to surge protectors. I believe we all could take a lesson in them, too. Mine sits there, fat and heavy, and it beeps when I unplug it during a storm, yet its actual working power is still a mystery to me. Marta
