From a techy friend of mine...

"There was a time that it was thought that turning computers off was hard on the hard drive...

In the last few years with all of the advances in computers this is no longer true.

By using the shutdown mode it saves electricity and allows the computer to completely cool... in hybernate and sleep mode there are still "things" running on your computer.

It doesn't hurt a computer to completely shutdown when not in use."
