Re: Tech: leaving computers on

[Suby Wallace <swallace@NIC.CRSC.K12.AR.US>]

I'd like to hear other people's comments on this.  Does it shorten the life
of the computer to leave it running when not in use?  We turn ours on first
thing in the morning and leave them on all day.  If I wait until a class
comes in, I look up and say, "Oh no!  I forgot to turn them on ahead of
time!!"  And everybody has to sit and wait while they boot up.  It's so
much easier to just turn them on and leave them on.

Is this the wrong thing to do?
