    Default What do you do? On/Off

    Just taking a quick survey: Do you shut down your P.C. at the end of the night or do you keep it on? And if you keep it on, how long do you keep it on until you give it a rest?

    Typically, my main desktop at home doesn't get shut off...unless the cat does it by accident.

    If i'm going to be gone for a weekend, i'll shut if off though.

    My desktop stays on for months at a time, as I'm a heavy d/l and only shut it down for updates or to do a disk check once every 6 months.
