Sleep is a wonderful option...
Authored by: robg on May 04, '02 09:43:03AM

On machines where it works, it's great. I've left our iBook in sleep mode and unplugged for the better part of a week -- it only lost about 30% of its battery. Starting up takes longer, power cycles a bunch of components, and has no real benefit that I can think of other than avoiding this bug.

But the beauty of Darwin's open source roots is that someone was able to engineer a fix and release it on their own schedule, instead of waiting on Apple.
