Standby; power management

Comment:

If one sets Power Management so as to shut off the hard drive and the monitor after a certain period, then what is there, besides those things, to go on "standby" ? Would not the disk and monitor cover most of your power consumption? Thanks

Yeah, pretty much. CPU idling isn't such a bad idea either.

Thanks, Rimfire. I don't see "CPU idling" in "Power Management." Is that available somewhere else, or is that what Standby DOES?

Yes that's what standby does. Are you perhaps a movie star? Didn't I see you in a movie called 'Uncle Buck'? Merry Christmas.
