How often do you restart your Mac?

I was quite surprised to see that I haven't restarted the iMac running OSX Leopard for almost 18 days.

It's incredible that this thing doesn't need a a reboot more often - I'm using it for .NET development in VMWare Fusion, Ruby On Rails Dev with NetBeans, MySQL, MonoDevelop + Mono, writing, web browsing and recording in Garage Band. So, it's not exactly light use

    I reboot my iMac once a week or thereabouts. I use it for full-time .NET development (in Parallels) and I do other bits and bobs too (project management, task lists, graphics in Pixelmater, stuff like that, plus I do Rails for fun). It's hard to say how often I really reboot it though, because Apple seem to be releasing updates that require a reboot almost weekly. However, I did notice today that the virtual Debian server (from slicehost) that runs my website has been up and running for 111 days. That's not bad, considering it runs Apache 2.2 (with mod_proxy), several mongrels and postgres, all in 256MB of memory. And it's fully patched.
