[G4] Sleep vs Shutdown

[Snow White]

My personal experience is opposite what you have said.  In OS9 it was 
better to Restart or Shutdown so the system could reset itself and the 
Ram allocation.  In OSX (10.3 and 10.2) I have found that the system 
works for a year at a time without Restarting or Shutdown.  In OSX I 
highly recommend Sleep as a very viable option.  Just make sure you 
have a UPS for power outages and Surge protection for spikes because 
when the computer is on 24/7 there is a 100% chance of both over a 
year.
