[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1674654, member: 112842"] I've read good discussions of this subject many times. I did not follow your link, but I bet I've read it before. I have not, however, seen any hard data supporting the theory that the off/on cycle harms the computer. If someone knows of a scientific study on the subject, by all means, post a link to it. But, for more anecdotal input, I have done what the OP describes for 3 computers that I've owned over the course of the last 22 years or so and have only replaced a unit due to software issues. The off/on cycle, for me, has been a non-issue. [/QUOTE]
