[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1184112, member: 182559"] Happy to help! Sure! You can ask anything you want, I'll answer with my experience as best I can, especially if it helps you decide if these things are worth a dollar or two or not for you! :P And if you're still considering a Mac Pro, plenty of people here own those too :) Personally, I do shut it down, when I think of it. A lot of times, the day will end with my wife and I playing with our daughter, or we'll go out, get busy with life, and I'll forget about it and leave it on. When I think of it though, I do turn it off. This is a personal habit :) I see no reason why you couldn't just let it sleep. I've never had a problem with it waking when I do forget to turn it off, I simply wiggle the mouse or push a key and it's back right away, wherever it left off :) If I could break my habit, I would have no qualms whatsoever with leaving it on 24/7. My wife virtually never entirely shuts her Macbook Pro down completely. It never has any trouble either. [/QUOTE]
