That said.. I leave my own iBook on 24/7 and don't always let it sleep, same with my G3 tower. By not always sleeping overnight the Unix self maintenance stuff runs (at like 3 AM) and keeps things running smooth and problem free. At least that's how I do it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong on the maintenance things. Enjoy your new iBook! Ken
