Hi Ron,

Urban myths and complete balderdash, propagated by idiots
who have nothing better to do than slander Microsoft!

Subject: [VICUG-L] Computer myths?

Hi,

I have heard some things about computers that I am not
certain are true.

1.    Is the stand-by feature on Windows harmful to my
computer? Several 
times per day, I will put my computer on stand-by. I will do
other things, then come back and do computer stuff. My
computer shop says that this will corrupt my software. Is it
just better to turn off the machine and start it a few hours
later many times per day?

2.    Would having 26k e-mails on Outlook Express tax the
computer's ram? I 
was told this several years ago by an untrustworthy source.

Thanks,

Ron
