While visiting my friend, Bill, the business owner of Throckmorton Auto Repair, I was asked if he needed to shut his computer off every night. So, here are three myths we’re gonna bust apart.

The answer to the first one is: no, you never need to turn off your computer, even if you’re moving it, because they go to sleep. With older laptops, you need to turn them off.

Second, you don’t need to turn off your new wireless keyboard or wireless mouse – the batteries won’t drain.

And third, concerning your Mac laptop, you don’t need to close all of your background programs, because they stay asleep when you’re not using them.

So, all you business owners out there can keep your computers turned on.
