It depends on the computer usage. If you use it for 6 to 8 hours a day, switch it off when it's not in use. On the other hand, if it's used 18 hours a day or more, leave it on 24/7. -----Original Message----- From: computers-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:computers-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Pam Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 11:24 PM To: computers@rootsweb.com Subject: [COMPUTERS] How Much!!
