Message-ID: <1463@tahoe.unr.edu> Date: 21 Jul 88 08:48:09 GMT Reply-To: derrick@tahoe.unr.edu (Derrick Hamner) Organization: University of Nevada - Reno Lines: 15 All this talk of leaving systems on indefinetly and such has reminded me of a question of mine. Since everything is plugged into my surge protector, and my surge protector has a switch, I thought it would be a nice idea to just use that switch to turn the system on and off. However, I am a bit concerned about how safe that might be for the computer. Any comments, experience, and/or sarcasm? :-) Derrick -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Hacker, n. : A computer addict, not | Derrick Hamner | | necessarily malevolent. | tahoe.unr.edu.UUCP!derrick | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
