can YOU set the sleep time to 3 hours?

i'm convinced the little 3 hour tick mark in the energy saver prefpane is just there to taunt me.

i'm pretty sure it's impossible to select 3 hours.

It works. I have tried it.

Closest I can get is 2hr. 59min. then it immediately jumps up to Never.

You mean like this?

It's tough.. I had to try for about two minutes.

 

[adambyte]

I dunno what's worse... the fact that you people actually wonder about this kind of stuff, or the fact that I tried it, and STILL can't get it.... bah! grrrr!

 

[Trip]

lol, I CAN'T GET IT!

Start dragging the slider, then continue to hold the mouse button down and drag it from outside the slider's area. It may take a few tries and a little luck.

There's a trick to it. Start dragging the slider, then drag the cursor over the little grey tick mark beneath the 3 hr position. It should snap in to place. This seems to work with the other tick marks as well.

You don't even need to do that, just click on the tick mark, and the slider will jump to 3 hours.

BTW, using davidbrit2's tip, I could not select 3 hours; so either I am retarded, I need to use a mouse instead of my iBook's trackpad, or that trick doesn't work with every configuration.
