Comatose will help you prolong the life of your computer and save on electricity while doing so!! It allows you to put your computer to sleep rather than shut down the entire system. It works with all Macintoshes Plus and later running system 7 or later and only 145K of memory. Comatose spins down all hard drives on all SCSI buses and dim the screen to black. The screen blacking allows some monitors to also power down, adding to electricity savings. Your computer will run quieter when comatosed and takes a fraction of time to start up when compared to switching off or shut down. Comatose also has screen saver capability. You can specify how many minutes before the screen dims and how many idle minutes before drives spin down. Your computer will be able to wake up with an incoming phone call, receive a fax and go back to sleep. Perfect for using that old Mac sitting in the closet as a stand alone fax!
Comatose is an ordinary application working in the background. It is NOT an extension or control panel. It does NOT patch system resources, will NOT modify your system file. It will NOT slow your system down and will NOT cause incompatibility with other extensions and system resources. Also, you can set Comatose up to run automatically at start up and you can quit it any time you wish to release memory if you are strapped for memory. You can NOT quit a control panel or an extension! You can only disable them and restart your computer to claim the memory and CPU time they use.
With its built-in recording capability, you can record a sound or music of any length right from your Mac's microphone and have it played back in the background while you work on other projects!!
You can reduce the amount of unnecessary wear and tear on your computer by putting it to sleep. Not only you can put your computer to sleep at a predetermined time, but also can schedule a time for it to wake up automatically just once or every day!!!
Comatose will pay for itself the first month of use!.
Last but not least, you can password protect your computer with Comatose stopping access to your computer when you are not there!
We are sure after you try Focus Comatose(tm), you would throw away your screen saver, audio playback, and power management software :-) and replace them all with it!
