I love that little bug.
Funny it shows up here, I only received it myself 2 days ago. Fast mover though, and seems quite willing to share himself worldwide. I sent it to my friend and then later had to apologize and let them know it wasn't meaning that they were "bugging" me. lol
Amanda .. nice to see you ... time is nearing and I hope we shall see alot more of you!!
I tend to leave my computer on all of the time. With my old computer though, after 5 years, I did have the fan "burn out", however $10.00 part, flip one in and the other out and back in business, but apparently there are two fans, one more expensive and more damaging than the other, I guess I got lucky.
And I have read that it is kind of 50/50 leaving it on or turning it off so I guess that makes sense.
And the dust is a problem and should be dealt with at least on a monthly basis I guess, so I seen when replacing this fan, hmmm ... could have been the inners of a quilt lining, lol ...
But every once in awhile I will shut it off and give it a 5 minute rest and restart, I kind of get a sense that I just did some cleaning when I do that, probably doesn't mean a thing though.
Those schedulers, even though that is what works best because somedays just run right into the others, but no matter what time I set mine for, it always seems to interfere. But that's just me, appointments, schedules, just don't fit my lifestyle and I am told that is a good thing because I will be late for my own funeral, lol
Race, sounds like the old saying, "When the cats away,the mice will play" lol ...
