Once you turn your computer on, do you tend to keep it on all day…or do you turn it on and off as you need it?

Believe in Yourself 
Since I do not have one yet and use yours, it is whenever you are home!
Fireaway, you can use it when I am not home, just tell me, no problem! *(*
II tend to just turn it on when I need to, and then I make comments, if I am in the mood! Like this!
I have two computers, a desktop computer and a laptop computer. My desktop computer is in my office where I mostly edit and store my photos. It’s also my “work” computer because I design wedding albums and such on it. I NEVER turn it off. I reboot it from time to time but it never goes off unless we lose power.
My laptop computer sits on the table next to my favorite chair in the living room. It is turned on first thing in the morning and doesn’t go off until I go to bed. I use my desktop to blog with and surf the net.
Gary….found you! Thanks for your comments! Sorry they went to spam!!!!!
I have 3 computers in my residence. My Apple stays on all the time. My 2 PC machines get shut down/restarted whenever they are not in use.

we always hit the “Go to sleep” button when not in use
Tony, I love how you put it! Sleep is good, even for the computer! *(*
I always have my computers on –
As a software consultant, I work with computers, and some serve as servers on my home network.
The only time I switch a computer of is when I will be away on business trip for more than a week.
Helen, welcome! Thank you for your information! I bet you know a lot more than most about computers! Thanks for stopping by! *)*
Off and on as needed.
Morocco, it seems like that is what a lot of folks are doing. Thanks!
I put it to sleep when I’m not using it … possibly I put it to sleep when I do use it too.
Put it off when I dont use it. THis I understand is the correct thing to do.
The only time I turn mine off is if there’s a thunderstorm and lightning is involved.
Joy, I would say that is a GOOD idea! I would hate to wonder what would happen, by chance, if you did not! *)*
I turn mine off when not in use. We have a rule for the computer and the tv that if you turn it off it stays off for at least 30 minutes.
Well, that seems like a fair rule, Just a Mom! Any complaining? *)*
I turn my off. I’ll use “hibernate” during the day and “shut down” at night.
Ahmnodt, it looks like one more vote goes to your method! *(* Thank you for stopping by and spending some time with us. Come on back!*)*
i even shut it down in the evening. I jsut close the laptop – but leave it on. next morning i just open it and can continue. this way i save at least 5min the f$%&/ system takes to boot.
nice question! you should ask it on ask500people.com :o)
The one I use at work is never turned off because I need to access it remotely from home. My personal computer is turned on and off as needed.
PS: Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my blog 🙂
Same to you, Nadia! Another vote for your methods! *(*
Always on, just like me!
I am glad YOU finally admitted that, Michael! LOL *)*
