I've been running a BBS with my A1000 and A1080 monitor since 1 April, 1986, and turn the monitor off whenever I'm not sitting at the console. Since I've had no problems, with the system running 24 housr a day for almost 4 years now, I'd say you're safe doing this. But for the short times you are talking about, I think you'd do better to just turn down the brightness, or use a screen-blanker. --- Cal ____ HOBBIT / / / 340 Meg Online HOLE / / / 12/24/9600HST bps AMIGA: ____ / / / Exclusively Amiga \ \ \/ / / "Best Amiga BBS in FL" The computer for the BEST of us! \ \ \/ / July, 1989 Final List(tm) \_\_\/ A comfortable place to meet -------------------------------------- Cal Jones, Sysop. 904-243-6219 24Hrs
