	Leave the computer on all the time. :)))))
	I don't know the answer (is there an answer?).  The only thing 
that comes to mind is that unless you turn the montior on 1st and let it 
warm up a little you'll miss the very 1st bit of the startup screen.  
This is usually not important but the times you do *need* to see it you 
pretty much have to turn on the monitor 1st.

	It's the same as the debate about whether the computer should be 
left on all the time or not.  One side debates that be leaving it on all 
the time you wear out the components faster (Like the hard drive 
mechanism)  and the other says that the most damage happens when you turn 
the computer on and all those cold circuit board have to re-heat - and 
then cool down and the reheat next time you turn it on..... 

	I just leave mine on all the time but turn off the monitor when 
I'm not using it.
