I have read with interest the ongoing debate of whether or not it is best to sinply leave the system powered up all the time. I just got my A3000 and will defer to the wisdom of the Net. I know if a system is used a lot, leaving it on is better than turning it off, but what about one that is used everyday, but only certain hours, i.e., 4:30 - 9:00 pm weekdays and 7:00 am - 9:00 pm weekends. Is it still recommended to leave it on? I have the system on a surge protector and power seems pretty stable here. So what's the concensus. Oh, and please use email since most of this has been discussed and I may simply have missed it. Now, for the second question. The version of QMouse I have will not blank the pointer under 2.0. Does anyone know of one that will? My version is 1.4.0m (as near as I can tell). Any help to both questions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
