Submitted by saudor on Wed, 22/04/2009 - 4:32pm
or do you put it on standby like me when you're not using it :P [quote]1868524 sec (21 days, 15 hours, 2 min, 4 sec)[/quote] P.S. to find out when you last started your computer: [quote]Option 1: 1. Go to "Start" -> "Run". 2. Write "CMD" and press on "Enter" key. 3. Write the command "net statistics server" and press on "Enter" key. 4. The line that start with "Statistics since …" provides the time that the server was up from.[/quote]

*lol* Mine says Statistics sine 1/1/1980 12:00:00 AM as well :P That's Vista Professional for you :P Anywho my computer gets restarted about once every 3-4 weeks, just because it decides it just can't take it any longer.. or Microsoft run updates while I'm asleep and then it restarts. It's never off for more than 2 or 3 mins at a time, and has been this way since July of last year XD

after remembering some command prompts... those in Vista should type in "net statistics workstation" Mine's been up since 4/20/09 and 8:00:25. And that was when I installed my latest version of Anti-Virus :P

lol mine says 4/17 at 3:42 am, but that's just because it automatically rebooted itself for an update lol

My laptop slows down after a few days on, so I reboot it every 3 days or so.

Vista is not that bad right? Everyone says its the worst software. I'm not really good with computers but, is it? AND PEOPLE: Shut down your computer. You'll save the planet from exploding a century more by doing this so. =) You're in for a surprise.

Check my neopet's page for more details.[/quote] I personally have nothing against Vista. I like it and the way it works. I actually dislike Macs though. The OS just doesn't work for me and I don't like the computers in general. As for the shutting down.. nah. I turn Monitor #1 off whenever I'm not at the computer and I dim my laptop screen all the way down. As for saving the planet. The planet won't go anywhere. Just the life on it =P. But trust me I do my part for this planet. So does my school. They have put a ban on selling plastic at my school.. and we already don't use plastic lol. All of our disposable cutlery, cups, and many other things are made of the PLA Plastic and we don't have paper towels or garbage cans.. everything is either recycled or composted XD. Plus all the buildings are LEED Silver Certified. So with that said.. I'ma leave my computer on for the convenience of instant Neo-Gratification :P

I put my computer on standby which decreases power usage by a whole lot :P

But still, I hate not shutting down the computer. I'm just too much of freak about saving energy as much as I could. You're in for a surprise.
