1) Never expose it to too much light.
2) Never get it wet. If you do, clones made by eMachines will appear.
3) Never, Never feed it after midnight. If you do, it will turn into a Dell.
Is that midnight EST, or midnight Pacific time, or midnight Greenwich time? And it's always "after midnight"... it might be 23 hours and 59 minutes after midnight.Peyote said:Leaving your Mac on 24/7 won't be a problem as long as you follow these three rules:

rhpenguin said:Its completely okay.. Actually its better for the hardware to constantly be running (HDD aside). When you turn your machine on and off the parts inside heat and contract causing wear and tear and can cause premature failure.
The hdd constantly spinning can cause it to die quicker because of its moving parts, but thats what power management is for![]()
