well I don't leave the laptop on all the time unless I am getting something. This is mainly because I sleep with the thing and frett about it also up to now fans keep me awake. However once I was hacked and didn't notice it till I woke up. I have had this laptop and other systems suffer a bit without rebooting every so often. my dad's system was left on all night and it needed a reboot in the morning didn't run fine afterwards. Whilst I can have things mostly stable my old hal and jaws are not fully stable depending on ie, system events, etc. The only reason I have left things on is if I can get things with ftp though I don't anymore unless I need to. The only reason I leave things on are for defrags, big virus scans and hard drive wipes.
