[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Leave machines on all day? Need authoritative answer

lemson@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (David Lemson) (02/20/91)

Can anyone give me an authoritative answer (maybe a study or
something?) on the damage of turning a machine on and off several
times a day vs. the power usage of the machine.  I know that this
question comes around every once in a while, but I'm really looking
for a "real" quote (publication, etc.) or a study.  Even a
bibliographic pointer would be great.

Thanks a lot.
