In their time, they were made to remain on 24 hours if need be. Now, more than a dozen years after their heyday, I recommend shutting them off when not in use. A lot of wear-and-tear has occurred after all this time. Some replacement parts are readily available. Some are not. To preserve your Compacts to remain operable as long as possible, don't let them stay on for extended periods of time. Jeff G -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
