That depends. putting the disks to sleep is a no-brainer...yes. Putting the system to sleep depends on why you're running it 24/7. If it's because it's running as a server (file, print, web, iTunes, etc) of some sort, then they systems should be kept awake. If not, just turn it off, save the energy. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
