Very cool, but...Kind of annoying? Having your computer on 24/7.

the computers here are on 24/7. What I find annoying is rebooting and stuff. :-?

My comps are usually on 24/7. Emule, y'know, plus excesive usage on work/studies/whatever. If I had a fixed IP, I'd have a server.

If you have win98, this is probably a bad idea, though. And in any case, it's a good idea to reboot now and then.
One more thing - if you're not in the house, turn your monitor off. That thing runs up your electric like you wouldnt belive.

Nah, I have Windows 2000, and things have seemed to have been running perfectly fine. I ask people how fast pages will load from my PC, and they'd tell me it was just fine. I was warned about speed before, but that seems to not be an issue.
