[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 56363, member: 3542"] I second that. Sleep mode uses almost no power (it can go weeks in sleep mode), and the hard drive spins down and parks the heads, so it's safe to move. I've taken mine, as you spoke of, through airport X-Ray machines while sleeping, with no problems. Starting up and shutting down all the time will indeed put a bit more wear on your drive...and quite frankly, it's a pain in the ass. I only reboot my Powerbook whenever new updates are available...otherwise it always sleeps. [/QUOTE]
