[QUOTE="Gav, post: 333414, member: 24221"] The notion that shutting down a Mac puts extra strain on the hardware is ridiculous. Putting a Mac to 'sleep' is the same as a S3 Standby. It powers down everything but the RAM. The only hardware that gets extra strain put onto it by shutting down is the RAM, but the same could be said about keeping the RAM powered 24/7. [/QUOTE]
