Very good point! We usually think of the wear and tear on the equipment,
but the safety factor is certainly important to consider. It seems that
the best solution is to shut it off if you are not going to be there and
you don't need to have it running.

I used to leave my computer all the time until I saw a power supply
flame up. Now I don't like to leave one unattended for long. ed
