Like others, I also leave my cards in most of the time.  I do not store
anything on the Flash drive because I only use things that are used on
both the PC and the BN.  Also, like others, I tend to plug my unit in
when at home or at least every night before going to bed.
Occassionally, I will leave it off if I know I am going to be home for a
few days or not need to take it somewhere for a few days just to try and
get the battery to run down a little more than usual.
