I have a DP450 G4/GE (10.4.10) since it was brand new and invariably have to restart some programs, or the entire machine, when it wakes from sleep. So I've gotten to only sleeping the monitor after a half- hour of an astronomy photos screensaver. Leaving the drives running appears to create no problems. I shut down every night, too, starting fresh in the morning. I replaced the main hard drive last year only to go from 30 to 100 gig; the other two drives - client files, photos, video - only wake when they're needed. - Peter -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
