When does it make sense to turn off the Unix PC?  

The AT&T manuals says never.  I keep my machine on all the time except 
when I'm on business trips.  But other computers with hard disks are 
turned off each day after your are done using them.  My question is 
if I know that I'm not going to use the system for a day, a week, a 
month, etc. when does the wear-and-tear of leaving the system on 
justify shutting down the system and turning it off?

	I don't mind leaving it on all the time, but only if this is 
what is best for the system.
