Off is good - no power usage. Sleep is good too - very very low power usage. Personally, I sleep my monitors and some of my desktops. But some I keep awake - I prefer they don't fall off irc and im networks, etc. I think I save more electricity by following my housemates around turning off lights. sigh. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
