[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 52209, member: 5184"] Hey Matt! I finally got broadband too, and it's really great... I agree with the others, putting your Mac to sleep and only restarting it when necessary is the way to go. Now hardware wise, I don't know about the old iMacs like yours, but every modern computer uses a minimum of power, even if switched off. Actually, I did a current measurement with my PowerMac, to see how much current (and therefore power) it uses, while turned off and in sleep mode. Actually, the difference was about 1.5Watts, so very marginal... [/QUOTE]
