- Color stations have a separate power switch on the monitor. So all he did was
- to turn off the monitor. The CPU continues to run fine. (We do it all the
- time. You can just turn the monitor back on and everything will be fine. (At
- least, if you've logged off before turning it off. I don't know if everything
- would be fine if you were logged on at the time.))

- >2. If it can be done on Color, can it be done on Mono?
-
- Not that I know of. There's certainly no separate power switch.
