Computer 1 (mine)
"Off" when I'm at work or sleeping, "on" pretty much the rest of the time.
Also "off" and unplugged during storms.

Computer 2 (daughter's)
Maybe "on" 2 hrs./day max.

I would but it has a mind of it's own. It would probably try to take over the world if I left it unattended.

I leave it on alllllll the time. Andrew scolds me somtimes, cuz i should shut it down more often, or run my antivirus shit more often.

Recently my computer has given me the blue screen of death shit. Its all this bla bla bla bla, at the end it says "beginning physical memory dump.....physical memory dump complete" BUT when i get the screen away, nothing is gone! Scary shit tho...so i always make sure everything is backed up that i need JUST incase.
