Heh.

I just wandered away from my computer long enough for it to pull up a screen saver (blank screen). This time when I hit the track pad it came back (the way I'd want it to). Looks like I now have everything in place for successful power management. thanks everyone! emma :) -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]]
