Do you guys realize that you are bantering about the same amount of time that it takes to pour a cup of coffee? I mean, PC or Mac, if you are like me you are going to hit the power button on your laptop and go pour a cup of coffee. It doesn't matter if it takes 22 seconds, or 45 seconds to boot up; you are going to be back at your desk well after it loads the desktop.
Unless it is a PC. Then you may as well call ahead and have someone push the power button a few minutes before you arrive. 😉
All this is true except for the many of us who don't see the need to shut down their Macs every night. 😀
