Myth. I place my computer, laptop in standby. It shuts down the hard disk, only leaving a little part of it on to store the memory that is in the ram. It can not be hacked. As for saving hard drive and memory, if you put it in sleep, the hard drive and memory is off. It might actually reduce

Hi, you can also check your email if you go to hotmail.com and check your mail that way and maybe your computer won't lock up on you. If the email that is coming in to that account is not important I wouldn't even worry about checking it. Just tell all your contacts your regular email address.
