My Amiga has been powered-up pretty much continuously since I got it last
December.  I turn it off only if I'm sure I won't be using it for a couple
of days or more.  I do, however, turn the monitor on only when I'm using it
(it's a Sony KV-1311CR).  Leave disks in all four drives and they don't
click checking to see if there's a disk in there (folks in Los Gatos
have said that even the disk checking should be able to go on for
years, but even so it's an annoyance coming from four floppy drives!).

Look for a "Fade-To-Black" type of program here soon, which intercepts
Intuition input and passes it directly on; if there is no input for
some timeout period, it diddles the color tables incrementally so the
screen fades.  Any input, keyboard or mouse, pops the colors back.
To be posted soon...
