To be honest, I am one of the folks that used to leave my computer on all the time. We started doing a bunch of things to become more "green" around the house, including adding extra insulation in the attic and stuff like that. I also turn my computers (all of them but one) off when I am done using them for the day. The one that stays on is one 24x7 because it runs a script that downloads database backups from my server. But it doesn't have a monitor or even a keyboard attached to it right now. Hm. I wonder if I can set it up so that it turns on just long enough to run the backup and then turns itself off again?

Everyone needs to use a Mac. Now. Secondly, these people who leave their computers on 24/7 need to turn them off when they're not in use. Not sleep mode. Off! Want to hear my impractical solution?
