That's pretty much it - don't see much point in leaving things on when I'm not using them; plus a dollop of health-and-safety (we both have memories of our dads going round last thing at night making sure everything was turned off). And it's running Windows, so it needs rebooting pretty frequently anyway :-) We've always done this, for each PC we've owned, and they all survived into a grand old obsolescence :-) Not that I'm at all rigorous about it; I usually leave the VCR, PVR, cable TV box and SB3 on (albeit on standby). I used to leave the hifi amps on all the time, but have decided that I can't tell any difference. The PC is quite noisy, and always has been (my requirements spec gets more thoroughly debugged with each incarnation!); but that doesn't matter given its location. Last night I decided to turn off the SB3's socket - but ended up leaving the PC on overnight for once (to let MusicIP analyse at least some of 12,000+ tracks). The SB3 was none the worse for it when I turned it on again this morning - better if anything, for it connected all by itself for once. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35792 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
