[P1] Sleep or Shutdown?

[Joe Jones]

I do the same thing. My current uptime is around 64 days (the terminal 
informs me it is in fact, 64 days, 16 hours 53 mins, but I lost 6 hours 
when I changed the clock to Central Time from GMT.

I leave it asleep all the time, only ever rebooting for system upgrades 
or other problems. I even had it asleep through all the airport 
inspections, although it did surprise one of the security folks when it 
woke up so quickly. He said he was a Windows user and his laptop takes 
a couple of minutes to wake up from "hibernation" or whatever it's 
called on the Dark Side.
