- I've had OS2 2.0 loaded since August or so. I hardly ever turn
- it off, except sometimes at night if I don't think I will be using it
- the next day, or when my roommates want to boot with Dos to play games.
- Never had any problems and like another poster said, it's common belief
- that the stress on the I.C. chips is greater during power on/off then
- normal running wear and tear.
