	Do I leave my Amiga on all the time?    You bet I do.

 I haven't shut my Amiga off (with the exception of a little preventative
maintenance) for over 15 months. Ever since I received my PAL expansion
chassis and hard disk it has been on night and day. Why you might ask? Well
when it takes almost two minutes to boot from a WARM start you get a little
reluctant to wait when you are anxious to tackle that latest program. Why
two minutes to boot?.....bindrivers, mount 2 disks, 3 partitions, assign
everything to DH0:, copy the RAM: icon, start RSLclock, Grabbit, Popcli,
Clicktofront, Shell 2.07 , AMICron.....etc... you get the idea.

 Practical reasons? Well my system spends 24 hrs a day monitoring Amateur
packet radio (soon using tcp-ip), runs UUPC via Amicron twice a day and serves
as the inventory system for a small home business during the day. 

Turn it off?  Never
			2 years,3 months and never a problem. I love it.
