 Dr. Digit 'Splains It All
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who swear you should turn off your computer after each use, and those who just as adamantly insist you should leave it on. What's a computer user to do? The argument for leaving it on is that computers don't use that much electricity, and that the wear and tear on moving parts is less. First of all, not using the switch protects it from wearing out. And some argue that letting your hard disk spin at a constant speed is better for it and your data than letting it wind up and down. And the really geeky at heart love to see the little LED lights in a dark room at night. (OK I admit it. I love those lights!) |

My desk has a compartment in it for the computer. I keep my computer tower in it to reduce noise. The cabinet has a four by six inch hole in the bottom for air circulation, plus another hole on top for cables to get in. The problem is that it gets too hot in there, so it needs a fan to blow the hot air out of the 4 x 6 inch hole. My sister had given me a "personal" variable speed fan. By adjusting the speed I could make it cool sufficiently while keeping the noise level way down. But not being meant for 24/7 operation, it died.

Although he may never have said it, Mark Twain, the author of Huckleberry Finn, is often credited with this quote: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." Unfortunately, just about the same thing can be said about saving for retirement: We all think about it, but we don't take much action.
In fact, your fellow Americans are, at the moment, doing an inadequate job of saving for their retirement. Early in 2005, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was just 0.4 percent, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. And consider these numbers from the 2005 Retirement Confidence Survey, issued by the Employee Benefits Research Institute:
