I'm also using a Pismo 400 with 10.2.1, although with a Travelstar 20 GB and 512 MB RAM and never experienced any problem with sleep. Computer goes to sleep as expected and wakes up as expected, all the time, which is many times a day. In your case, I would suspect some background process preventing the computer to sleep. Did you try quitting all applications before trying to put the computer to sleep? Did you install any kind of software that could prevent the computer from sleeping, like a fax software or something similar? You could maybe grab the content of your ProcessViewer window when trying to sleep so we would maybe be able to help you more. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* featurectomy /fee`ch*r-ek't*-mee/ n.: The act of removing a feature from a program.

Righteous featurectomies are performed because the remover believes the program would be more elegant without the feature, or there is already an equivalent and better way to achieve the same end. (Doing so is not quite the same thing as removing a misfeature.) Reluctant featurectomies are performed to satisfy some external constraint such as code size or execution speed. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
