Default Snow Birds- or others who are gone for long periods

We've owned a condo on the west coast of FL for a few years. As I'm approaching retirement (woo hoo!), I'm thinking about getting a sewing machine to leave there. Until DH retires, I might fly there on my own. Or, even when we drive down, it seems we already have a lot of things to load in the car, meaning adding a sewing machine to be transported could be a problem.

Do any of you leave a computerized machine for long periods of time? I've heard horror stories about them "freezing" up if they are not turned on periodically. More specifically, I'm looking at one of the "lower end" Bernina's, a 300 series machine, probably, unless I find a fantastic deal on something even better.

Thanks for any input/suggestions you can give!
