Would be to look at all the BBS's in the world that operate 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week, all year round.  I have never seen a computer die of
overheating ( except when obvious abuse is involved ).

I keep mine on all the time.  I have two floppies and a hard disk, XT
clone.  Never turn it off unless I run something that hangs the system.

At work, I have basically the same thing, and it has been running now
for a solid three months.

Other examples ... LAN servers ... 24 hour Voice-Responce Units (which I
have had the pleasure of working with for about a year and half before
coming to Lafayette ). .... No problems with leaving it on.
