The "trickle" function works even though the Mac appears to be powered-off. PeeCee PSUs generally work the same way as the low-powered microprocessor which performs the power-on-reset function needs a source of power simply in order to recognize the power switch has been toggled. Notice that in many cases your USB devices will still be powered, although not by much, when you power-down your machine. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
