It seems that this software is for demagnetizing the processor, not the monitor. I have never heard of demagnetizing a computer's processor. Seems a little suspicious to me. I couldn't find any information on PowerLED anywhere online other than that link you posted. The URL in the program's documentation no longer works. But, I like to live dangerously, so I installed the software. (On my UMAX S900, 250MHz 604e, wouldn't risk it on my girlfriend's iMac.) It's an extension, control panel, and application. Running the "demagnetizing" feature was interesting. It scrambled the graphics on the screen a few times and made a high pitched noise through the speakers that had me scrambling for the volume knob, with strange status messages in between, something about "epibration". Google search for epibration turned up nothing relevant. When it was done, it said that the static electricity had been removed from my processor. What? I thought it was going to demagnetize it! No noticeable difference in the shape or color of my screen display, or the speed of my processor (which the program reported as 0 MHz, BTW.) My guess is that this software does nothing but lubricate your computer's inner workings with a healthy dose of snake oil. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
