[QUOTE="mac57, post: 268447, member: 17052"] This is totally a personal preferences item. As one poster said, Mac OS X boots up in a refreshingly fast period of time (you will love this if you are coming from the Windows world) and so it is almost "6 of one, half a dozen of the other". However, waking up from sleep is faster by a bit. I like the sleep/wakeup approach myself because it keeps all the programs loaded that were loaded before you turn-off/put-to-sleep. This means that they start up pretty much instantaneously the next day. I have gotten so used to programs just "snapping" into existence that I hate to turn my Mac off at all! So, there is some benefit to the sleep approach. I reboot my Mac about once a week, just because I am sure that software isn't perfect and this cleans up any memory leaks or any other issues that can accumulate. [/QUOTE]
