This doesn't seem to affect the lifetime, as most of them are scrapped when they are deemed too slow, not because they stop working. Turning a computer on and off once an hour might affects its lifetime, but once a day or so seems to have no effect. You will probably *want* a new computer anyway, before your current is worn out :-) Bo Persson bop@malmo.mail.telia.com
