I have had three PC’s and turned them all off at night. I have never had a problem with any of the three, They have all been Dell’s. I don’t want any updates running on my machine unless I know what it is. I spent 30 years in DP and that is a little habit I picked up from that time. If an update is going to cause problems I want to know about the update. I keep my PC’s 3-4 years before getting new ones.
Same here. In fact, they are all in running order to this day. The only reason I replaced them was because of changing technology. Why run a Pentium III when a Core-Duo is sooo much faster?
From my standpoint, turning off the PC at night does it no harm. Besides, I'm a cheap bastid. I don't want to pay for the electricity.
