[QUOTE="jpepperman95, post: 1000412, member: 143940"] sometimes I hear the hdd spin down, but you can try putting the machine into "deep sleep". There is a widget to do this here: [url=http://deepsleep.free.fr/]Deep Sleep[/url] This will shut down your computer without deleting the things you are working on, so If you are working on a Word document, you can start up the computer and it will be open. The only down side is that it takes about the same amount of time as normal startup/shutdown. PS: Apparently, this doesn't support snow leopard, but I have used in on snow leopard... might as well try, right? [/QUOTE]
