I thought that you generally had to send a special packet to get a machine that's asleep to wake-on-LAN? I have an older iMac that occasioinally wakes up. Turns out that it's the mouse being moved by vibrations in the house (doors banging etc.) Even a small knock is enough to wake the thing up. Solution: turn the mouse upside-down. > I prefer to leave the Mac's on. We use them all the time and putting > them on/off would not be good for the machines.

Sleep uses significantly less power than when the machine's awake, without the associated delay of a start from cold when you want to use it.
