You should always turn the monitor off when you leave for any length of time. On the other hand, the computer doesn't have components that rely on a constant heat source to operate properly (monitors do, unfortunately) and thus shouldn't pose a threat. Interestingly, Apple doesn't let you turn the monitor off on any of their B/W models. Best, Kris +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Kriston J.
