Ok, equant, here's an interim method that might end up being the final method. It doesn't absolutely minimize power, but it provides a large reduction with almost no effort.IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I have not actually tried this procedure, so I can't guarantee that there isn't a hidden gotcha. So proceed with that it mind.

Thank you so much! I can't wait to try this out.

It's too bad Apple didn't implement this themselves with the Plus in anticipation of the AppleShare software in order to run a headless system on a compact and conserve heat and power.

Frankly, I can't believe once Jobs was gone that Apple didn't add a fan to the Plus to mitigate the heat related repair costs, but then I guess that might have been admitting the earlier models were actually flawed?
