- Aha. Immediately found a couple of buglets:
-
- o You can set the hot-key for putting the system to sleep to "ctrl-opt-esc"
- but it won't work. oops. Setting it to 'ctrl-opt-Z' does, though.
-
- o There's an option that allows you to tell NEP to bypass that wonderful
- AppleTalk dialog completely, or to choose a default fault (sleep or
- cancel) if theuser doesn't do so in a given period of time. That's good.
- It's hidden in the "batter saver" module under options, though, not under
- "Instant Access" with all the other appletalk stuff, so I had to go back
- to the manual to find the @#$#@ thing. Not intuitive at all.
-
- And one other "oh, neat" -- I just noticed that NEP puts up a spinning disk
- cursor when the disk is spinning up, so you know why things suddenly froze.
- Nice subtle touch.
