OS 10.2 and Sleep... an observation
« on: April 05, 2003, 03:58:00 PM »
My cinema display wakes up from sleep in a fraction of the time it took my VGA monitor. Because of this, I'm able to see the desktop before the computer is ready to play.

I looked up at the clock on the menu bar and noticed it was  showing the time that I had put the computer to sleep! Before I had time to think, I watched as the clock updated itself to the current time.

I guess this is normal, but I had not seen it before because by the time a CRT lights up, the clock is already updated.

Bruce, Just curious - is your clock "independent" or is it getting the time from a network server?

Harv, mine is a network dependent clock.

I should disconnect the ethernet some time, then put it to sleep and find out what happens.

(edit) to correct spelling

My CRT  lights up several seconds before anything is ready to use. I can move the mouse but all else is "frozen" for about 5-8 seconds til the hard drive spins up and all is moving again.
