	Nov 14 2007	MACCANUCK Simple and does what it says it's suppose to do, on an iMac G5 2.1GHz running 10.5. Great when you want to listen to music and want your screen off. I use 'Butler' to launch it via hotkey (Version 1.0)		0

	Nov 14 2007	TEKL The hot corner often is activated by accident as it has no delay, so not everyone can use it. (Version 1.0)		0

INDIEKIDUK Its more efficient to use hot corners for things you do frequently, e.g. dashboard, all windows, app windows show desktop. Since you have only four corners it wouldn't be sensible to give up one of them for sleep display which most people will only do maybe 1-2 times a day.

With SleepDisplay in application form you can hook it up to anything you like, e.g. quick silver, launch buddy, remote buddy...whatever you like.

	Nov 14 2007	TEKL In Tiger I used a magic number for pmset. As I use ControllerMate for that it would be nice if the developer can tell how he has done that for leopard. (Version 1.0)		0

TEKL But that's not a display sleep but a whole computer sleep.

NEUTRALZONE Correct tekl, that shortcut does not substitute for this software because it sleeps both the computer and the display. This software sleeps just the display, leaving the machine fully awake.
