Re: Leave Runnin? Or Not?

[Richard Gerome]

I always shut mine down when I'm not using it, for these reasons: Save on electric bill, I think the computer will last longer including the battery and if you leave it on and online there is less chance for hackers to get into the computer with spyware or phish and get any of your info you may have saved on your computer, even though Apples are a lot less prone to viruses they can still get your info out of them... How many e-mails do you get from spammers that you have no idea how they got your e-mail address???  CoolKat -----Original Message----- From: James Morgan Sent: Oct 12, 2009 9:54 PM To: g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Subject: Leave Runnin? Or Not? Is it a good idea to leave my mirror door G4's running all the time? Or is it better to shut them down at night?  I''ve been shutting them down at night for seven years. Guess I should have asked this question sooner.
