    got yourself a nice image that you just plug and play with :D

    somebody on here does something like that every 2 months!

    I tried to create a base install...haven't used it yet...afraid I would have missed important apps and have to reinstall a bunch of stuff!

    Computer will run better if you clear all the 'unwanted' stuff in the background. If you leave it on, these stuff gets accumulated and it will slow down your computer.

    I don't know how mine counts; it's on Standby each night. So it's technically "off" I think. There's nothing running while it's on standby unless I touch it, which I don't.

    I personally turn my computer off. Why waste energy?

    Anyway, for those who stay on MSN while sleeping, I hope you rot in hell. It's always been a peeve for me when people do that :p

    Sometimes... we are trying to do it more now, to save electricity and wear on the computer. But often we just tend to turn the monitor off and leave it running... especially if it's already nearly getting light. :)

    I'm surprised to see that almost half of the people don't turn their computer at night!
