- Nearly all respondents (16) enthusiastically endorsed running their PCs
- 24 hours a day. Some ran their office machines 24 hours and their home
- stations when they were present, or not asleep. Everyone agreed that
- the electronics benefit the most. In addition, no case for HD mechanical
- failure was presented.

- go for it.....
