I was thinking the same thing myself.  How does it know there is a
update was another question I had.

About the only time I shutdown is when the power fails.  My puter only
pulls about 150 watts so I just leave it running 24/7.

Wonder why it hasn't?  Isn't it supposed to do that sort of thing itself?

I usually just run the test manually but I sort of had family stuff
going on for the past year, almost a year anyway.  Sort of behind on
things although I have been doing my normal updates. 

I ordered a drive.  It should be here tomorrow.  In the meantime, I
shutdown and re-seated all the cables, power too. I got the test running
again but results is a few hours off yet.  It did pass the short test
tho.  I'm not sure that it means much. 

Thanks much.
