Well, the other side of this is that their prices seem significantly lower
than others I've seen, so if this is accurate, for people like myself,
without much money, it's very tempting to go the el cheapo way, which this
apparently is. So if you or anyone else knows of better alternatives that
I have asked why they do not configure those computers to go into
'sleep' mode after a certain time of non-use has elapsed, or why they
do not arrange for the drives to stop running when not needed. or why
they do not hit the off button of the monitors and printers at the
end of the day. The

Yes, that's what I meant - the various things she has complement each other
synergistically, leading to both more money, more influence and more power.
I think she is at a point where making money is not the overwhelming goal,

Actually, this isn't *strictly* true. Unless there's a design flaw,
downstream devices should simply wait and keep trying. My router's often on
with my modem off (when I'm resetting the modem).
You are right. A properly designed device should keep trying so the order
