Longest Amiga session

@pierre:

I don't know if keeping a system running rather than switching it on and off regularly makes a difference, but I would have thought that powering up a computer regularly would cause it more mechanical stress (eg. having to spin up hard disks and fans.)

I tend to put my Mac to sleep if I'm going to be away for less than half an hour, any more than that and I switch it off to save electricity.

I did think of that (a bit like how lightbulbs are more likely to pop when you switch them on), but I would have thought there would be some sort of protection circuitry?
