I talked to the head technician at my local Apple retailer
about leaving the Mac on. His reply was that when he was in the
Air Force they conducted tests on electronics and found that
they had far less faults with the equipment that had been left on.
As for myself I am responsible for 5 SE/30s that were bought, new,
six months ago and have been running ever since. I have had to
replace 2 analog brds and 1 int disc drive. These faults occured
within the first month.
