- I have need for a program that will treat the hard disk of a desktop
- mac the same way as the hard disk of a powerbook. That is, I want the
- desktop hard disk to fall asleep when not in use (after some
- predesignated time period) and then start back up again as soon as it
- is needed.
- I have inherited a very large but very noisy external hard
- disk, and would like it to stop spinning when not in use, just like the
- hard disks on the powerbooks do.

- Is this possible??
