Why do you ask? Do you want to burn an LCD display?

I have a PB160 set up with a FileMaker database for regular but intermittent access, and was wondering if it would harm the machine to leave it on 24/7 (backlighting off and disk spun down as per the usual energy saving settings) rather than let it go to sleep. No, I don't want to burn menu bars and such onto the LCD.... :O

Hmm... My Powerbook 180 is on sleep 24/7, besides when I am actually using it. It doesn't seem to have any problems, but that is because the display is off. I image if you left it on, even with the backlighting off, the screen would eventually burn. Is there any way to put a screen saver on one of the early PB's?
