Why wouldn't we want to leave the Amiga on?  Most people I know (myself
included) with Amigas never bother to turn them off, unless they have a
major crash, or something like that.  (BTW, isn't it better to leave
micro-type equipment turned on anyway, assuming it is sufficiently
ventilated?  Something about reducing stress on components from heat
expansion and contraction...)

The Answermate was one of the things that really sounded neat when I
first started thinking about the Amiga (over a year ago, now?  I guess
so..  Gee, how time flies...  :-).
