You can also go into power settings (In Windows XP go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options) to set it up to go into 'sleep' or 'standby' mode when you've been inactive on it for a certain amount of times (30 minutes or whatever) so that it uses less power when sitting but doesn't shut down completely. <BR/><BR/>The reccomendation is to set it for 15 minutes, that is supposed to save the most energy overall. Also, screensavers do not save energy and it does not wear out a computer to shut it down and restart (read that online).<BR/><BR/>Having everything (computer, internet modem, printer) on a powerstrip helps because it's easier to unplug one thing :)Cowgirlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203971565880138961noreply@blogger.com
