Yes I agree.  I leave my hard drive on all day and shut it off only at
night since I don't always use my mac everyday.  (hard to believe eh?)

About MacPlus vs MacSE:

I would get a MacPlus over the SE if I needed on.  The price
difference would allow you to get a substantial sized harddisk for the
plus.  The only advantage that I see to getting an SE is that Apple
will probably support the SE longer than the Plus.  However there are
so many MacPluses out there, even lack of support will not be a
problem for a long time.  (I think...)
