Dang! You beat me to it, sucker.

If your mains outlets are switched (as is the case of most in the UK) then leaving it plugged in, but switched off at the wall is good advice; the earth connection is maintained but the live is switched off.

Why is that good advice, Mangetout? I thought you wanted the computer at the same potential as your body.
I’m truly asking, not criticiz(s)ing.
Peace,
