Macworld clearly gets what we are trying to do with Power Manager 3. They appreciate that it does not suit single users but instead is ideal for managed Mac environments, like schools and businesses.

I love the buying advice:

Power Manager 3 isn’t an essential purchase for home users, but for offices and other organisations managing lots of Macs, it might just help save the world. Macworld team

I will be arguing the benefits of laziness at Victoria’s Mac User Group (iMUG) in a couple of weeks.

I will discuss how laziness has affected the design of Mac OS X, and how laziness influences the design decisions behind DssW Power Manager.

It will be fun to brush up on my public speaking skills, share some stories of those who have shaped Mac OS X, and get the chance to meet you in person.

The meeting is free and open to the public.

Thanks to iMUG’s president, Les Posen, for the invitation to speak.

Thanks to Christopher Breen for recommending Power Manager in Macworld’s Mac 911 column.

Christopher recommended Power Manager 3 to Brian Silverman as a more capable replacement to Mac OS X’s built-in Energy Saver scheduler.

“Unlike with Energy Saver, Power Manager 3 allows you to create schedules for any day and time of the week. Additionally it can handle a variety of tasks including startup, wake, sleep, log out, log in, restart, and shut down. You can also create one-time events.”
Christopher Breen, Macworld

Thanks to Gabriela Ghinita, Softpedia, for reviewing Power Manager 3. Gabriela awarded Power Manager 3 high marks.

“Power Manager is easy to configure, intuitive and does everything you expect it to do, and very well I might say. The best thing about Power Manager is that you only have to configure it once and then you can forget about it.”
Gabriela Ghinita, Softpedia

“When it comes to things I didn’t like about Power Manager, I can’t find anything to say.”
Gabriela Ghinita, Softpedia
