Hardware - December 2007

I was told that if I turn off my computer whenever I'm not using it, it'll last longer..by one person..........then I was told by another person that if I do this, it'll waste my memory and actually make my computer get problems sooner.......So which is right?....What I've been doing since I bought it is just close the browser & leave the computer on...letting it go into sleep mode on it's own.......thanx..........DreO

I made the switch from PC to mac a few months ago, with the new imac. I'm going to college next year, and for Christmas I'm getting a laptop. I'm deciding between macbook and macbook pro. I was thinking the white 2.2 ghz, but once I added more memory and hard drive (is this needed?) it's only 200 less than the cheapest macbook pro. If someone could go through the pros and cons of each (for someone who is pretty computer illiterate.. like I'm not even sure what the hard drive does...).

If it helps, I'm going to be majoring in writing, but the kind I'm doing is in the media department, so I'll be taking media production classes and such.

I'm running Windows XP and every time I reset the clock/calendar (at the lower right hand corner), a few days later, it resets to 12:01 01/01/2001. Is there an internal battery I need to change or does my computer have a virus?

I just bought a new black ink cartridge and replaced it since the old one was worn out. Ive printed in both black and color since then, for maybe a week now.

However, since yesterday the pritner wont print any document in black ink. Ive ran the test page and it is printing in black and color but when i try to print the document, it wont print in black.

I have already wiped the head of the cartridges before trying again, but with no luck. Any Ideas?
