Does anyone have a good reason why a Powerbook can't be left on all
the time like most Macs can be??  It is recommended that you only put
your Powerbook to "sleep" if you are taking a break for a "couple" of
hours.  Else you should Shut-Down.  Why??  Any input would be
appreciated.  Please email me your response.  Thanks!!

Because otherwise you'll run down the battery.

Thanks for the response, but the assumption was that the PB was
plugged in.
