I disagree with this. Are you actually saying that a powerbook
shouldn't be used for extended periods of time? I use my TiBook easily
12 hours a day, and have no problems whatsoever.
if using a battery, you can deplete their battery faster, etc.
Well yeah, using the battery uses the battery. No way around that as
far as I know. :)
Besides, what a waste of electricity. If I am not going to use the
computer for 12 hours, why have it on.
Why not put it to sleep? That's one of the best things about OS X, IMO.
Sleep and wake are almost instantaneous. It's much faster than waiting
around for the thing to boot up every time you want to use it.
