[QUOTE="Goersch, post: 532489, member: 59946"] well, as I said before "Away Mode" is no energy saver mode. Yes it might save some energy for the monitor. But, the major advantage is the plus for the user of the system. They do not have to deal with - "Oh, my system is still on, because ....". - "Oh, can I rundown my System or is it still doing something ?" - "Oh, how do I tell xyz not to press that Off button if this system is doing a recording and how does xyz know why ?" - "Oh, all messages are in english, but xyz only speakes French" and so on and so on Just let the buttons turn your system into "Away Mode" and let Windows do all other stuff. If the system is not blocked it will turn off, if it is blocked, it will be turned off later (usually by Windows - but that doesn't work good, so I implemented some workarounds into GMPS to handle this situation). It can be so easy with this function - and no additional PopUps are necessary of kind "Sorry, you cannot shutdown now because ..." [/QUOTE]
