The facilities people here at Cupertino think it is better to turn
off the monitors.  They say that modern equipment can handle the
turn on/off stress.  I am doing this now, although I used to simply
dim monitors when I wasn't using them.

P.S. - The "old" rule I learned was that if it has vacuum tubes (like
CRT's) or electric motors (like disks) you were better off leaving
it on all the time.  When I do this now though my Sierra Club member-
ship card begins to make accusing noises :-).
