Hey, this is great. Many of my old laptops become my "servers", so I'd definitely pay for this.

One question I have, in case someone from CoLaptop is reading:

So, one time I had this White "Chiclet" MacBook and I had it powered on all the time, I didn't know at the time but that destroyed the battery and when I unplugged it/plugged it again (because I moved it to a different place after like 4 years) it just didn't power up, fortunately I was able to extract the HDD and its contents.

Now I have one old MacBook Air and one old MacBook Pro as "servers", and I regularly disconnect them from power (but keep them on), I do this for like a day every 3-4 weeks, and haven't had that issue, battery health is still good etc...

So, what do you recommend for this? Or is this something you'll do as part of the CoLo service?
