Well, I turn my II on and off as much as ten times a day (on exceptional
days).  I've been treating it like this for several months now, and nary
a glitch (knock on wood).  It really seems to be quite well designed; the
system comes up with a minimum of fuss and bother.  Also, it's not really
practical for me to leave it on all the time, as I keep the computer in
my bedroom, and I have a roommate...
