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
