To those who are worried about wear and tear by shutting their systems down every day I say go ahead and shut her down.
This subject has been hot since I've bought my computer in Oct. 98. I've got an old Compaq Presario that's over 6 yrs. old.
I'm on my computer every day, at least 45-50 hours a week. It gets shut down at least twice a day and probably average 3 shut downs a day.....sometimes more (thats about 6,570 shut downs). I also run my maintenance wizard every 10-14 days. I've never had a problem and will treat my new computer the same way if this old thing ever dies.
