This may seem like a simple and unimportant subject to write about, but I have to say, I get this question an awful lot these days.
Here it is: How often should I turn off my computer completely?
Years ago, there was an epidemic of computer power switches that started failing because the computers were constantly being turned on an off. At that time, the computer would basically cease to function at that point. So, it became common knowledge that it was better to leave the computer on most of the time.
We currently live in a very different environment. People are much more concerned now about power consumption (and cost) than they were in late 80's and early 90's. Computer design and hardware function is also much better than it was then.
So, in case you are wondering, there is no real danger of power switch failure from turning your computer off and on many times. At home, I turn off my computers when I am not using them, period. At work, I will leave...
