    I am interested in any opinions that people have on leaving one's NeXT
    cube on continuously.

    Since NeXT so conveniently put the power key right on the keyboard, I
    have been of the impression that NeXT intends the machines to be 
    turned off when not in use.  ( In fact, I believe that my documentation
    also alluded to this position. )

    However, I am intending to set my machine up with a uucp connection to 
    a local server of the Internet and am thinking that leaving it on all 
    the time would be a good idea.  ( No doubt that I'll forget to turn it
    on some days, at the proper time, and thus will not receive my mail, 
    news, etc. )

    Opinions?
