In this mode, I assume alarms don't work, and the unit can't be woken up? >Philip, re: "a simple on/off rocker... Everything else in the world has >one.", my TVs, DVD players, laptop, even the dishwasher have >software-driven power buttons. > All of my TVs and hifi equipment (except for my Transporter) have a true power off. I think there was a change in law to say that all equipment required one, as too many devices had unnecessary stand-by modes that were inefficient. I turn my Transporter off at the wall when not in use now, because it doesn't need to be on when my Amp is switched off, and my son plays with the knobs if he sees the screen light up. The only device that I have with no power-off is SkyHD, but that truly needs to be on (standby) all the time to ensure programs are recorded. _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
