wow, my computer has been on for 71 days

[blueghost75]

I just looked at my network connection status, and it says you have been connected for 71 days. That means I have not restarted or shut down my computer in 71 days. I have even survived a couple of blackouts...I have a UPS. I have Windows 2000 SP2, and I leave it running day and night. I always have AIM open, and I surf for a couple of hours a day, and play music at night while i am falling asleep. So how long do you leave your computer running for?

My Windows 3.1 only stays up for a day at a time.

 

[sohcrates]

congrats! my secondary box running win2k pro has been up for 47 days....but 71 is impressive!

 

[Dark4ng3l]

My computer has been on for 276 days... im running windows xp btw (joke)

 

[rootaxs]

437 days. Win2k

Shut it down when i had to move apartments.

And the best part of it? I don't have a UPS either.

 

[StageLeft]

Just over a day. Win2k pro. I keep having my CD burner dissapearing so a reboot fixes it.

 

[bigrash]

woooohoooo...mine has been on for a whole 5 hrs

 

[BeauJangles]

48 hrs was the longest uptime on my computer... I don't usually leave it on day and night, so that was a while ( I left it on because my parents needed it while I was away for a weekend). I run WinXP, and don't see why I couldn't leave it running for longer... i just don't.

 

[SidewaysN2second]

hehe my system runs win98se, i shut it off at 5 day intervals

 

[jhu]

30 days. would've been longer but there was a black out a month ago

 

[Schlocemus]

I had a *nix firewall one up for something like 67 days

 

[TallBill]

10 days for me on win2k

 

[Platypus]

I reboot this machine nightly, because I cant stand the lights when I sleep, however my server running FreeBSD has been up 40 days

I had about 2 weeks of uptime runnign Win2k sp2. Then my sister-in-law came over to d/l some music and make a CD, so I go to Jack in the Box to get some food. I come back a little while later after stopping in staples to look for a new mouse, which I got a Intellemouse Explorer, and teh computer was shut off!

Me to my sister-in-law!

You call your sister-in-law a dude :Q

 

[Danman]

My computer has been on since I have been up...............12 hours!

 

[yakko]

I never reboot.

 

[Sir Fredrick]

See This - you haven't broken any records yet. The top listing was up for ~3.5 years.

My computer has been on for 53 days - had to turn it off to move it, or it'd be ~3 months (as long as I've been in this apartment)

 

[MrCodeDude]

I've left my computer on for 27 days. Max. This is running on Windows 98 with UPS. I had to reboot when I downloaded a Microsoft Critical Updates package from the "Windows Update" site.

[ShadowHunter]

My record is only about 2 weeks, with Win2k Pro. The parents yell at me if my computer stays on all the time when I'm not home.

I could easily go longer tho

 

[kaiotes]

you guys are running mighty high electricity bills

 

[Martin]

<< you guys are running mighty high electricity bills >>




Yep. When comp was in my room, I used to turn it off nightly (too much noise), now that its in a separate room, I turn it off nightly since my parents complain about electricity.


Longest has been like 6 days or so one time.....



Of course, my pride has always been when the counter on my DSL software (the one that counts "Bytes Received") overflowed in one night when I downloaded 6GB of music and movies

 

[Blayze]

mine was up for almost 2 weeks one time running Win2K Pro
Had XP Pro up for almost a week one time.

My computer is in my room so I shut it off at night since the fans keep me awake and it makes my room hot

 

[Joemonkey]

mine's been up about 11 days now

 

[Darknite]

ha...ha..how...do you turn on...the computer................
