 I had my 1 Meg IIc on 24h aday for several years... the only time
 it would go off was during power failures.  At least 4 or 5 years
 of continual operation.  No bbs just wanted to maintain the ramdisk.
 During the last 6 months, when I wanted to turn it back on, I would
 have to try several times before it would boot up and initialize
 properly, then I had even more reason just to leave it turn on cuz
 I didn't know if it might not want to be on later.  I put that
 machine thru hell and it did the same to me.
