Subject: Leaving it on....

Does anybody know what the dangers are of leaving an Atari 800 with the power
on indefinitely/permanently/for long periods of time???  I have a pretty bad
problem with oxidation of the contacts on my OS and some memory, and I find
that if I simply leave the thing on, it is not a problem.  I am a little
apprehensive, since I really don't know much about the hardware (other than
the fact that the power supply is supposed to be less than terrific) and I
wondered if anybody has any experience with this or knows what is likely or
unlikely to happen.  I have a small muffin fan that I could press into service
if it is better for it to run cooler....

Thanks for any info..
