Hello,

  Can anyone tell me whether leaving a Rainbow on all the time is
a bad idea? I've heard turning a machine on is the time when it's
most susceptible to damage, so I've been leaving mine on. Is this
likely to lead to problems later on? For instance, with the monitor
or the fan, which runs continually? With HISTORY installed, I don't
have to worry about images getting burned into my CRT, but is there
a chance of it losing its brightness? What's the word?

George
