You can set it to hibernate when you're not using it.
I just wiggle my mouse in the morning to get it to come back up. I leave it on for days on end with no problem and have for several years now. I only shut it down occassionally.

POLL: Hibernate or turn off at night?

My computer geek just scolded me :( I have my computer set to hibernate after 2 hours to reduce accumulation of cat hair around the fan. He says hibernate is like an induced coma -- sometimes the patient doesn't wake up. He instructs NEVER use hibernate and he would take it off the computer if he could.

I thought that turning on and off was hard on the hardware itself and where most problems originated -- plus the cat hair thing. . .

Opinions?
