A Silly Question!

[NorwayUnn]

I use a wireless laptop, and I turn it off every day.

 

[BereanTodd]

I usually keep it on all the time, but there are times that I shut it down.

I usually have mine on...but in hibernate mode.

I have my anti-virus & spyware programs scan through the middle of the night because I have dial up so if I'm on the computer when these programs run it makes it go even more slow. When my computer is off those programs won't run but will in hibernate mode.

I leave my on almost all the time, occasionally I shut it down.

i have mine off when i'm off the internet if you leave it on with a wireless modem someone can pick up your signal ..

 

[bill'swife]

We leave ours on...the ppl at the PC Doctor said it was best to leave it on...when it's not in use it hibernates...like Ty, we mostly restart it when needed but sometimes husband will turn it off at night...but that is very rare!!!

 

[LovesToRead]

Off every day...if we will be gone for a long time, we even turn it off during the day.

I normally turn my computer off if i'm going out or going to bed all depends on if I'm downloading something then I well leave it on.

WoW this is my 500th post isn't that cool.....

Right now I'm mostly using a mac laptop, and I suspend it w/o rebooting (reboot once a week or so)

I had (currently out-of-service) a freebsd computer, and I left it running all the time.



Hiya Ruth! (Heehee)

Every once in a while. When we travel to go somewhere we turn off the computer

My computer is a little bit knackered at the moment. I think that the graphics card has had it. It keeps flickering on and off without losing power. When I switch my computer on it happens more when it is warming up. Once the computer is warmed up it then doesn't do it so much. So, I keep my computer on most of the time so I don't have to go through all this too often. However, it does get to a point then when I can't do anything and I have to switch it off. Either that, or it switches itself off.

Does this make sense?!?!

 

[Surviving]

This is what I feel like doing sometimes...

 

[Will00]

Well, I think when I am getting off, I like 99% of the time just "Switch User". Then someone else turns it off.

Yes, what you say makes sense... wish I had some knowledge to help you in that area! We had a computer that's monitor would flicker alot, in that case we got a new monitor and it was fine.

I have experienced that feeling before... LOL!
I had a Norton Antivirus/System works error message come up saying I needed to uninstall Norton... do some stuff and then reinstall it! I did not install my Norton and so needless to say I felt a bit overwhelmed with the prospect of doing that. Instead I kept posting on here and then decided I needed to deal with it. I closed everything out, clicked on my xed out Norton icons and a thing came up saying there were trouble areas and did I want to fix it...clicked yes and then another came up for about five times and after I clicked to fix each one of those, it was back up and running. I said thank you Jesus!
