Hello,
I have several questions about the power settings for my MacBook as they relate to internet usage, etc.
1) What is the difference between putting my display to sleep and putting my computer to sleep?
2) When I put my display to sleep, will the internet still run? Say, for example, will ichat still be visible to users who wish to send me messages?
3) I have custom settings to put the display to sleep after 25 minutes, and then the screen saver comes on after 30minutes. Is a sleeping display the same as a screen saver?
4) Does putting the computer to sleep mean the internet functions - like ichat - go off?
5) Is there a risk of reducing computer life my never putting the computer to sleep? I leave the house all day and would rather just put the display to sleep after so many minutes, with the screen saver? Is that enough?
Merci!
