Hi Ed.  Long time no read.

Why don't you leave it running 24/7?

Sure, there's always crunching to do.

I usually leave it running, except for thunderstorms, or forecasts thereof.
Dirty AC around here, and a weather front has been sitting on top of
Pennsylvania for a couple of months.  Me on top of a hill.  I don't trust
the UPS to absorb all the voltage spikes.

Otherwise, the operating system occasionally crashes; just it's way of
telling me to reboot.  Sometimes I give it a reboot after a successful
workout, anyway, to comb out the Resources, etc.  I try to catch it before
it catches me.

Win98 - I still have to remember to "save" periodically, so I don't loose
too much work.  It's still not perfect, even with all the ram, just a lot
better.
