On suspension:

On my Mac I have screens go to screen saver in 10 minutes, and shut down
after 20.  As a sysadmin for a university math department, I had a policy:
"Leave them on"

My mac uses 160 watts with the screen off, 270 with the screens on  If use
use an average of 200 w, then we are using about 5 kWh/day.  My
differential electrical rate is 8 c/kWh, so it costs me 40 cents a day to
leave my computer on,  or about $150/year

40 cents is worth it me JUST to not have to re-establish state.  E.g. right
now I have:

* 3 Chorme windows up with about 50 tabs
* 1 firefox window with 5 tabs.
* two textwranger windows up (It remembers full state, though...)
* Aperture
* Affinity
* Ms Word
* Preview
* Itunes
* Messenger

I do have a UPS for it to get us through the short power bumps.

Regards

Sherwood
