If this gets interesting, I’ll turn it into a MacMerc.com post. To check your uptime, open the Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app) and type uptime. Hit return and then copy and paste what you get into the comments.

OK, doesn’t that laptop get insanely hot with an uptime of 38 days?

It counts uptime when it is asleep. If I left it on without sleep for 38 straight days it would probably be warm. Right now it’s a little chilly (just woke it up after an hour or two of sleep).

Not sure if you were only looking for Mac OS X uptimes…
4:25am up 270 days, 14:01, 1 user, load average: 0.10, 0.08, 0.08
That’s for an old PowerMac 4400 running Yellowdog Linux.
As for my Powerbook, I restarted for the security update last week. My best ever is probably around 30-35 days.
