  i don't think that at all.  remember that each person can
have different preferences, requirements and expectations.

  i reboot my computer once or twice a day depending upon what
i'm doing.  it takes only a few seconds.

  at the end of the day i turn it off since i don't like 
wasting electricity.  it is a fairly low power consuming
system to begin with but i hate the idea that it is doing
nothing at all useful just sitting there if i'm not going
to be using it any time soon.  since it does shut down and
start up quickly enough it isn't an issue.
