In fact it is better for it in the long run. Turning it off and own will speed up thermal wear on the system and cause falure to componets due to heat. Leavin the monitor own is a different story, Moitors draw more power than a cpu and I know off at least one fire caused my a compter monitor never being turned off. I have been running my Amiga for over two months now with out turning it off with know problems and the unix box I run here at work has not been turned off in over a year and a half with no problems. Just watch out for lightning. -- // Jeff Hyche There can be only one! \\ // Usenet: hychejw@infonode.ingr.com \X/ Freenet: ap255@po.CWRU.Edu
