Whats the longest consecutive time you have had your Amiga running?

Not one of my Amigas has been running for more than around 20 hours.

I used to have my machines in my bedroom, and I hate the sound of fans or harddrives when I'm trying to sleep (no matter how silent, I still hear them). I also only ran a part-time BBS back in the days so I turned it off everytime I went to sleep.

Besides, Amigas boot so fast you don't need to leave them on to avoid minutes and minutes of starting up your machine (*cough*windows*cough*), plus it's a waste of energy (which is bad for both the environment and my wallet).

That still uses power (and I don't remember my wintel machine have that possibility). Also, a lot of things like PSUs (like those for f.i. cellphones and computerspeakers) still use power when they are not in use, which I find a complete waste.

All things in my hobbyroom (computers, printers, monitors, consoles, tv, guitaramps) are connected to three main switches . When nothing is in use, all power goes off to save on electricity.

Besides, what's the point in leaving a computer on when you're not using it for several hours (not using meaning not using - so no downloading/running a server or anything)?


And no, I'm some environmental tree-hugging hippie. I just don't like wasting money. :-)
