   It is interesting how each of us uses a different morning/evening routine.   
      
   Every night I shut down my desktop, and just before walking away, I power   
   off the power strip that handles the huge Sharp LC 45GD7U 3-foot monitor, &   
   smaller side monitor (my wife says I get a suntan from the irradiation).   
      
   In the morning, I power the PC & go make my coffee, and then when I sit   
   back at my desk a few minutes later, I turn the power strip on for my daily   
   illumination.
