My iBook G3 bought in 1997 has been on 24/7 since, only turn off for thunderstorms.
Now selling it, works perfectly, no pixel burnout, I don't use the power saver.
I am currently running a Toshiba Notebook, iBook, Mac G4 desktop and a Dell desktop, all run 24/7.
Just a note. Nearly ALL computer electronic problems are due to repeated COLD starts. Componets are cold and are hit with a surge, not a problem most of the time, but if something is weak, the cold start will cause failure.
