I have read several postings here about people that have had minor problems
when turning on there A3000.  This question is kind of related to this.
Isn't it better to just leave the computer running 24 hrs a day?  I have
an A500 that has been on for 14 months with a CLtd hard drive etc... with
no problems.  Is this a personal choice of mine, or am I doing the "right"
thing by leaving it on?  Am I really saving that much wear and tear on the
power supplies, RAM chips, etc...?  Any comments or E-Mail would be greatly
appreciated as I am about to get an A3000 and would like to leave it on always.
Thanks....
