Which is a Bad idea.
Its one thing you run a Business and have the software and hardware
setup to leave everything on 24/7/365/.

But an individual you don't stay up 24 hrs the best thing to do is turn
your computer off when you not using for more than an hour. And when you
go to bed.

The only exception, if your backing up a hard drive or some such
activity or a very large piece of software that takes 8-10  hours to do.
  When a Computer is shut down and restarted it does a bunch of house
keeping and updates Time and date information. The the longer it stays
on more likely Memory corruption That would be cleared up if turned on.

Every time a computer is turned on, additional strain is placed on the
electronic components, which  in turn shortens their life and leads
to premature component failure.  Leaving a computer (or any other
electronic device) places the least strain on the components, reduces
risk of premature failure, and significantly extends the probable
life of the device.  I have never yet had a computer fail in service,
but have had at least six fail on being turned back on after a period
of being turned off.

My problem at the moment is probably not sea monkey.
I used to leave computer on all the time but recently in the middle of the night when not active something happens and when I try to use the computer the next day it has bunged up requiring a restart by holding the on off sw. for ten seconds. cont. alt del.just brings up some exception thing up and wont give me the task manager. the last time after reboot was when sea monkey started with a fresh slate without my old setings.
