Thanks to Dan Frakes, Macworld.com, for reviewing Power Manager in Mac Gems.

Dan took the time to get to know Power Manager and his review picks up on some of the product’s more subtle features: Power Manager’s stricter definition of “inactivity” over Apple’s “idle time” makes schedules easier to predict, and small touches like waking a sleeping Mac to ensure the scheduled event occurs on time.

This makes Power Manager especially useful in environments—classrooms, labs, a child’s computer—where you want to make sure your schedules are followed. If your Mac is asleep when an event such as a logout or shutdown is scheduled, Power Manager will even wake up the Mac to ensure the event occurs.

Thanks to Dave Enders for reviewing Power Manager 3, for the Alaskan Apple Users Group (AAUG). Dave awarded Power Manager 3 top marks with an Excellent rating.

AAUG Awards Power Manager 3 “Excellent”

“In a matter of minutes, I had a custom schedule created using the Assistant or I could have just as easily used the Quick Schedule option. I chose Home but you also have many options. All I had to do was tell it what times I wanted to startup, sleep and shutdown.”
Dave Enders, AAUG

Even in sleep mode, computers use up a lot of energy. But there are easy solutions—even easier than having an eco-button—for sending your computer into sleep mode more quickly to cut back on its energy consumption, or shutting it down altogether at a scheduled time so that phantom power is avoided.
