We (every one in the company) have been shutting our PCs daily before going
home since many years. Not a single failure has been reported.

I strongly believe we can save lots of our natural resources by switching
off the PCs at night.
Auto shut down is meant for the day period where in you would not like to
shut off and switch on frequently during the day time or when the PC is
acting as a server on the network. But what has happened because of this is
that every one keeps the PC on even during the day.

Save resources and save your money.

Hi ya'll!

This may be a little off-topic, but I've got a little wager with someone
that
the thought behind "Green" Technology is really a bust. You know for
example,
the monitors that shut themselves off after a certain period of time may
well
save a few fractions of a cent in power consumption, but the stress of
powering down and up, and down and up, and so on, causes the life of the
monitor to be considerably shortened.

Somehow, this person has calculated that if everybody in the company shuts
their computers off everynight, and then reboots them every morning, there
will be a $3,500 a year savings in electricity. My take on it is that the
$3,500 in electricity savings will be overshadowed by the cost of failed
motherboards and associated hardware from the 'pooters powering up and
down...am I out to lunch on this? (If I am, I owe a lunch...hehehe)
