I guess you've been reading all the "green" tips about power usage. You know the ones that tell you to plug your flat panel TVs into power strips so you can turn them off completely.Computers use a lot of power, but you can't just flip a switch and turn them off. You have to power down correctly.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to turn your computer off automatically by using a software app called SwitchOff by Airytec, specialists in creating small or lightweight apps with minimum system requirements.
Switch Off is a lightweight easy-to-use tray-based system utility that can automatically shutdown, suspend or hibernate your system. That means it will decrease your electricity bills by lowering your PC power consumption.
The download is free, and it works with Windows systems through Win7.
Takeaway Truth
Save money on power by powering down easily and automatically.
Thanks for the tip- have a great day!

ReplyDeleteHave a good one.

I laugh at TV and movies where people on computers just turn them straight 'on' or 'off' and get a result.
ReplyDeleteDirectors know we all have them and know several steps are required, so why do they demand we suspend so much disbelief?
Thanks for the tip though.
@BWCA, I'm always amazed at how inaccurately they incorporate computer usage in scenes.
ReplyDeleteThe one that gets me are the people supposedly typing on keyboards and their fingers stay right in the same position and move as if they're playing runs on a piano -- the same keys over and over.

Yes, we all hate it when directors assume we are stupid.
ReplyDeletethanks for tipping me over to twitter. have been reading that 70,000 people are marooned in TKY Disney which is flooded by the tsunami. I feel so bad for all the animals - turtles etc washed way out of the sea. I am a big animal-sook.
Just noticed you have Harlan Coben in your Recommended - such a nice writer with good messages.
Hi, Melbourne MOD. Yes, Harlen Coben rocks! Love his Myron Bolitar books best of all.
ReplyDeleteToday brought news we could all live without. I've lived in Japan, and I know how frightening earthquakes and aftermath can be.
The loss of life is tragic, and the loss of property will be devastating for those who survive and for their economy. No easy answers to this growing tragedy.
Books are a good escape from the cold, hard realities of life. Guess we'll all need to read a good book for some relief -- and donate for rescue efforts.
