Who doesn't have their computer running 24/7? Or at least all during the day? Do you really shut your computer off everytime you step away from it?

Joke?
Answer: A lot of people.
More descriptive: A lot of people conserving energy and reducing electric bills.
Yes, when I leave my house my computer turns off even if I'll be back in 30 minutes. When I go to sleep it goes off. When I go watch TV it usually goes off... unless its like a baseball game. Then in between innings I go and check out the computer. When I go play my video games it goes off... unless I am reading walkthroughs.

Do you not set your computer to hibernate? Computers do have these new fangled power saving settings...
I have mine set to hibernate after 10 minutes or when I close the laptop but even then pressing a button brings it back on almost instantly while saving plenty of power.

Why? Why not just shut down? I have no problem pushing a button and waiting to boot up.
