We don't have amiga's but atari 520ST's, and one of them is now running for about 2 weeks continuously. The monitor is not switched off but the intensity is turned low. I think that the wear of the phosphor is mostly shortening the lifetime of a monitor, so this should be sufficient. If someone knows better, please correct me. I cannot help you about the disks, because the atari does not access the disk when idle. Maybe you can turn off the disk drive, too, but I don't know if that's possible with the amiga hardware and OS. Surely accessing the disk every few seconds will do harm to them if you let it run for a week. Hoping you don't ruin the machine, Hans-Martin Mosner , University of Dortmund
