I have done this with no problems, just have to be careful not to exceed the ratings of the switched outlet or the total input rating of the power supply. Not usually a problem with small stuff like speakers, scanner, etc. > anyone had good luck with a "power sensing" power strip? (brand and model > please) For my system that doesn't have the 'other' outlet I have had good luck with a Sears Craftsman unit. Sold for use with power tools it works great on my system, turn on the Mac which is plugged into the sense outlet and it powers up everything else which is plugged into the two controlled outlets. Cost was around $15 IIRC. -- John Impellizzeri mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
