if you were to shut down your computer... how long do you think you could go without turning it back on?

[sciencewhiz]

It depends, is this time without any computer or time without MY computer.

for the former it is around 10 minutes, for the later it is forever.

I turn mine off when I go to sleep and to school since in like in Florida and lighning fried my old computer. So the longest I think would be 10 hours. Oh wait there was that time when I was born. I did not use a computer for a whole TWO YEARS :Q (no joke). Oh wait... your talking about now.

dude... 3 months while I was working during the summer and never got a chance to boot it up... plus I found out when I finally did turn it on that my stupid video card died on me... oh wells, thank God for warranties.

About two hours, tops. I hate weekend trips, because thats the first thing I do when I get home, is fire up the box, and end up staying awake till 4:30 or so in the morning, just to catch up!!

 

[tinneric]

Oh about 30 seconds...

"Could" and "Do" are just two totally different things all together.

I DO turn my computer off every night and back on when I get home from work... (after I'vbe watched the news and ate)

BUT, I "COULD" leave it turned off for an eternity if I "HAD" to... hey, I've got one at work ya know

Long enough for the hard drive to spin down...


Hey! Anyone else here remember typing "PARK" in DOS before turning off thier PC?

 

[CaseTragedy]
