| Shutdown Day 2007 - 24 March On the 24th March there is a "Shutdown" day, where you should keep your computers turned off (not sleep mode) the whole day. This is to see what will happen with the electricity used (how much computers use in a day) and to see if you can make it or not. www.shutdownday.org This article is in German for those of you who can understand it: http://kurier.at/nachrichten/techno/59502.php

| Though they also say that not only you should keep your own shut down, but you shouldnt use someone elses computer, even if they have it switched on. So how can IT technicians work that day? Over phone only, or with closed eyes? And about the server question: Actually, when no-one is using a computer there is no need for running a server. But realistically, will everyone in the world obey this rule? Don't think so... I think I'm gonna do it - as reed said, it's not that much of a deal. Just I receive like 20 macosx.com e-mails a day about all the new stuff in the forums (a bit annoying, ok: more than a bit) and tech questions, and when I'm gone a week then I have about 150 new messages, counting other e-mails. So one day will be fine.

| Kinda reminds me of Buy Nothing Day, and as likely fated to be more honored in the breach than the observance. |
