Well, I've had my Apple ][+ for about four years and have had times
where leaving the machine on with diskettes in drives was a necessity...

The only problems I've had were an occasional blown sector due to the
Apple's power-up surge...and now and then a slightly warped diskette from
uneven r/w head and pressure pad tension..


If you have a large number of cards in your apple, and you want to leave
it turned on for extended periods, then a fan is an absolute MUST.
Before I had my fan, over extended periods my Apple's memory would
start to flake out..the only solution was to let the machine cool off for
a while.
