Turning off and boot time

[jmsjabb]

I have a 12" powerbook and it seems to take ages to boot from cold. Can I just close the lid and let it sleep?

Yes that is what we do all the time.

You will need to shutdown periodically say once every 2 weeks.

Incidentally does it seem to be getting slower of late ? If so you may want to think about using Onyx or something similar to do some System maintenance.

Absolutely. If you use it frequently why switch it off? If you're setting it aside for some days or a week it might be worthwhile as the battery would run down anyway.
