[QUOTE="RichP, post: 327740, member: 27016"] From a hardware standpoint, it really doesn't matter. The thing that's going to fail fastest is the hard drive, then the display, and both "sleep" and "shut down" have the same net result on both components. Personally, I sleep my iMac. It makes it much more convenient not having to restart Parallels. I can launch my PC apps like they were Mac native. :) [/QUOTE]
