It won't save me the price of a new computer. At best I'll save MAYBE $75 a year. When you completely shut down your computer it cools off. When you restart it it heats back up. Over time (A period of years) this causes stress fractures. The truth is, if you use the "hibernate" feature of Windows XP (and previous versions including Windows 2000 and Windows Me), or even the "sleep" feature of most new Dell and other PC models, it really doesn't matter much. You save almost as much energy as you do turning off your computer for the night (minus unplugging it). And you won't have to endure a lengthy "re-booting" process the next morning; your computer should "wake up" in 30 seconds or less.

Yes; I shut my computer totally OFF every night .... However; it also shuts off my Magic Jack which is my PRIVATE line .. BUT; then again , no one should be calling me that late anyway ...

I do not think this is a question. It is a question and answer. I don't think your IQ is 150. Do you see what happens when formats are broken? It's chaos. You are too concerned with saving money and/or energy. I don't like cops.
-
Usually, unless I'm using it!
-
Of course I do. I even shut it off in the day when I'm not using it. Why leave something on when you don't need it? For convenience if you need it later? It only takes a few seconds to turn it on!
-
Nope, I do put them to sleep though.
-
Yes, I do. You are so right. I can save on electric bill when I shut off my computer because I normally do not have anything to download from the internet. Besides this I have to be concerned with the frequent lightning when it showers especially during the nights.
-
Yes, always. I shut it off whenever I am not on it.
-
Yes, I turn my computer off anytime I am not using it.
-
It would be better if you unplugged it too, right?
-
I do shut it down but do not unplut it.
-
No, I usually let go in hibernation, which saves electricity. Other posts are correct when they say shutting your computer down can significantly decrease the life of your computer. I do shut it down at least once a week, usually when I know I won't be using it for at least 48 hours.
-
Sure do and I also switch off the little switch on the back of the computer too.
-
Yes I do.
-
I disconnect from net, close it down, unplug it and turn power off at wall and turn off my wireless modem too :)+++++
-
No, I normally leave it on.
-
No.
-
i shut it off every time i'm done using it.
