Back in the day, when I was living on Residence at Uni., I had my A1200 running 24/7 for the entire semester: Organiser would start DeliTracker at 07:00 every morning to remind me to get-the-hell-up, you lazy...
Anyways, during most use (Wordworth, Pagestream, PPaint, C4D, OctaMED SS, DOpus, etc.) it suffered no crashes. Occasionally, I would have to reboot; most crashes were from me installing things and trying to get them to cooperate with other things (VisualPrefs + MultiCX + etc. = KABOOM!).
Or playing demos I'd just downloaded, but I was prepared for such eventualities by rebooting to my 'run games and demos' partition.
I did have a program that told you how long the machine had been on for, one time I checked it, it had been up for 34 days.
== iBrowse aside ===
Although I didn't go nuts with web-surfing (comp. labs were a hundred metres away and I had an AF sub.) I did some Yahooing (I knew not Google, 1998) and found that setting iBrowse' stack to a ridiculously large amount generally prevented crashes. I can only guess this would work with other browsers as the size and complexity of web pages is increasing, so the size of your initial stack should be proportionate.
I generally didn't hang around browsing too long, though: I had pictures to draw and assignments to avoid. ;-)
