Found it interesting to read the question again.  I turn my home computer on
and off as needed, off every night.  However, tho all indications are that
this is bad, I haven't had problems.  At work, we just received an "official"

policy change, that ALL personal computers, printers, etc are to be turned
off at night, to save electrical energy.  I guess that will test a number of
our PC's! (the terminals connected to a network will remain on all the time,
but not printers connected to those terminals).
