Our IT person highly recommends shutting off the computer at night.  When the computer is running, the C drive continues to spin.  The C drive will break down more quickly, if the computer is constantly left on.

Subject: Shutting off computer


Howdy all,
Is there a definitive answer on whether to shut off a computer when not in
use for a period of time, like 7-8 hours?
Basically I do not use it from 9 at night till 4 in the morning.. Also, is
there the same kind of answer about leaving the screen reader program loaded
if the computer is left on for that same period of time?
It seems that there is not a positive one way or the other.
Any input appreciated.
Thanks,
Morey
