This question is asked periodically and usually garners all sorts
of fervent responses, on both sides of the question. Some people
never turn off their computers, claiming turning them off can
cause the hardware to fail sooner. Others turn them on and off
multiple times each day, to save electricity.
My view is that it doesn't matter very much either way, and you
should do what works best for you. Personally I power on once a
day, when I get up in the morning, and power off once a day, when
I go to bed at night.
