	Frequent >3 times/hr) cycling of power on IBM-PPC's is definitely bad
for the power supplies health. We have 3 PC's in the office and one power
supply failed after three weeks. Due to power conservation we turn off the PC's
at least once a day. CTRL ALT DEL sequence solved most of our power cycling
excesses (software reset).

					good luck with your PC's
