Does putting it to sleep count? That's not a reboot so I guess it still
qualifies as up-time? :) AND you save power. Best of both worlds?
My personal opinion is that if there is an actual need to keep the
computer running because it actually does work all the time, then it's
great that you can keep it on reliably for long periods of time.
However I also suspect some people keep it running more because of some
sort of "uptime-fetish".. In that case I think the common sense thing
to do is pull the plug, save power & fans, and smell the clear breeze
outside.
Cheers,
