Well my nifty utility is microsoft's system information

Cool, but i'm not in the bragging mood.

not long like 18 hours and a few minutes.

I got in the habit of rebooting every day on my way out the door, system reboots, starts up dnetc and is ready to go when I get home that evening........usually......sigh.......


Hey, look at that Paulson is back, I am out of town for a few days and look what happens. Nice to see you, though surprising after the badmouthing you did of this place.

Since I power down at night, only since this AM. A better question is how many times a day do you have to reboot. Since Ive put the Tbird on line, ive never HAD to reboot unless installing a new program or piece of hardware.

 

[Pyxis]

Right now I'm at 5 days with Win2K but once I didn't reboot for 43 days

Ever since the utility bills shot through the roof, I try to turn off my computer whenever I'm away from it for more than 30 minutes.

 

[shawnmos]

not long cause I turn my computer off everynight before I go to bed. costs too mush to keep all the computers in the house on.

 

[Windogg]

Had a server w/ W2K Server running for about 200 days until I moved out of my old apartment.

At the office we have a Novell 4.11 server that ran for 1000+ days until a power outage forced a graceful shurdown. Since then it has been running over 200 days without a reboot.

Most I've pulled is a few weeks. Something always happens like having to reboot to do something. Currently my win2k server is quite poorly done so I'm rebooting every few days.

Most I ever did with win98 was 6 days and I was only using it about 20 minutes a day then.

Main home computer: 52 hours on weekends, 7 hours on weekdays (I live in california)

Work computer: 9 hours/day

Linux router: since the last time I mucked with the settings and/or wiring

 

[Daniel]

This one 22 days, the other one I turn off at night.

 

I shut down every night. No need to stress my parts in order to impress people with my long uptime. Keep the obvious joke to yourselves people.

 

[Thegonagle]

I've been up for something like 42 days with Win 2000, but it's doubtful I'll be setting any new records soon, since storm season is beginning, and I pull the plug and phone line immediately if I see lightning nearby.

I had windows 98 running for over 60 days on my laptop. It did nothing except run dnet and occasionally dial-up to get more packets. Then the hard drive started to go clack-clack-clack, and it hasn't run since. I wish I hadn't killed my ThinkPad.

[SmiZ@LilPimpin SmiZ}$ uptime
4:00pm up 8 days, 15:02, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Win2k box is around a week I think.

dwell from what I understand it stresses your parts more to be heated up and cooled down all the time...

Costs more money to start it up than to have it running. If you have power saving mode on, do that because you'll spend less money that way.

My computer has been up for about 100 hours right now without reboots.
