WEll, I run a BBS and my Amiga has been off 32 odd and 20 odd hours two
different occasions, since October 12th, 1988. It was owned by someone
who used it about 3 hours a day for about a year before that.
 
My amiga still works. I even spilled coffee in the keyboard. (I washed it
OUT with water even. Then let it dry for a few days I was away by sticking
it behind the amiga 1000's fan. I had the thing unplugged (no power in
the KB while the BBS was up...used two drops per sugar-crystalized key.
Wonder how dangerous this is, even if there is no power.)
