Old argument around my house. She turns it off everytime she's through with it, maybe 10-15 times a day.

I compare it to a light bulb. When do you notice it burns out? As soon as you flip the switch it goes out. It's already weakened and the surge zaps it. As for pc components, I'm assuming the cooling/reheating/cooling/reheating isn't good for them, but arguments go both ways. I was always taught that if something isn't being used, turn it off. Hard to break the habit.
