In response to the flow of questions regarding whether or not to
leave the PC ON or OFF all the time, here is my two cents . . .
If you use your PC several times a day, it is best to leave your PC
on the whole day, and shut it off at night. Each time your turn on
and off your PC puts strain on your components. If you accidentally
leave your PC on all weekend, don't worry about a thing.
With monitors, if you are going to be gone from your desk for more
than a few minutes, turn your monitor OFF or use a screen saver
(like Screen Peace for windows 3). This will prevent image burn-on,
and help your monitor tube last a whole lot longer.
BY ALL MEANS, turn your monitor off at night.
Now, if I only knew how much more electricity the monitor uses
verses a pc .. .
