RE: System Standby

If you have one of these new fangled "super user frendly" OS like mine you will find this under the "Apearance and Themes" control panel and then in the "Choose a Screen Saver" control panel. In that control panel select the "Power Monitor" and then what Cal said. Cal must have one of those "non-user frendly" OS which let you get where you want directly rather than going through three popups and buttons. Whindows XP Home Edition - love it or leave it. It took me some time poking around the control panels to find this the first time. Power management under "Apearance and Themes" - go figure.Be Seeing you.
