From what I hear, the only thing wrong with leaving your computer on, is
that the bearings in the HardDisk evnetually wear out.  Otherwise, It is
better to leave your computer on than cycling the power.  It's the mechanical
parts that fail, however, and your Hard Drive will eventually inevitably fail
if you leave it on all of the time.  Therefore, turn of your Mac if you have
a HD.  Otherwise get a screensaver & leave it on.
