I agree with you except the whole reason I sparked off this discussion was
that I have an ST251 and it won't start once it stops unless I remove it from
the machine and jiggle it around a lot (30 minutes work!) So leaving it on is
the answer to my problems. I don't enjoy doing it mainly for electricity
reasons (its my dads cheque book thats getting thin) but I turn my monitor off
when not in use.
