[P1] Power ON or OFF

[Kim Gammelg å rd]

I have an iBook 466 SE that is about 3 years old. I never turn it off, and
only let it sleep. I would advise you to do the same, if you like it to be
ready at once when you wake up in the morning with all programs running like
the day before. :-) I boot it when updates that demand it come along.

I treat my (work-) Compaq Evo laptop the same way, but it takes almost as
long to wake from sleep as to boot it when I need it, so the difference
there is minor.  Apparently it didn't blow up either during the past two
years I've had that one, but I think your way of treating your former PC is
very normal in the PC-world.

Welcome to iBook-land, btw!

Cheers,

Kim
