Hi. I have a 24" Imac running OS 10.5.2.
I have a Wacom graphics tablet and I recently corresponded with Wacom
tech sup****t about an issue installing their tablet driver. The tech
sup****t person wrote:
"Select energy saver in your system preferences and you'll see an option
to change your sleep preferences. I suggest "never" for your hard disk
and uncheck "put hard disk to sleep when possible". Display sleep is
fine, and restarting the computer each morning is healthier than sleep.
You'll tax your system and run your hard disk down sooner by putting
the computer to sleep and trash your tablet driver in the process."
I was about surprised about the tech sup****t's suggestion. I have my
Energy Saver settings set to put my computer to sleep after 25 minutes.
In general, I leave my computer on all night when I'm asleep and I only
restart it occasionally when needed.
My question is: does it really matter whether I shut down my computer at
night or leave it asleep as I have been doing?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mirsky
