    I never shut my computer down, unless Windows restarts it automatically after an update when I'm asleep or if I need to restart it after installing a program. (That's why I'm in third place on Idle RPG. :p)

    Also, one time I haven't shut down my netbook for over a month. It was constantly either on or in a state of hibernation. Technically, according to Windows I was logged on for over a month. ::)

    Well... I put it off when not in use for a few hours or when not in use the whole day.

    I shut mine down every night or if I'm not going to use it for extended periods of time.

    The only time I leave it on is if I'm uploading/downloading files.

    The only time I ever turn my PC off is if I go out of state. (once a year if that)

    Nearly always, my mum wants the family PC off every night. However when my new PC comes in the mail. It will be on for all eternity.

    I always hate that :p

    After installing something:
    "Do you want to automatically or manually restart your computer?"
