I have a "dumb" QUESTION. Should you or should you NOT turn your computer off after you're done for the day or whatever?  Some people say yes, others say NO, leave it on all the time. What's the best?  Really appreciate a good answer. mommalove44433....Well , I dont think there is a one word answer to that question. It's entirely up to you. I leave my P/c s on 24 /7 s ...the only time I shut them down is if I'm doing any maintainence on them or if we are going to be away for an extended period of time.
I have friends that will turn their p/c on and off a dozen times a day....and when I ask them why ...they say ah ....someone told me to do that. or so I will save on the electric bill......or it may cause a FIRE ......Think about it .....do you think that the banks or big corporations shut down their computers when they go home at night.
How about the Internet /Service providers.......Some companies dont EVEN turn off their lights in the off hours.....its actually cheaper to leave them on .
In conclusion I say again ...the decision is yours .....do what you feel comfortable with.

Hope this HELPS you make your decision
