Here's my brand new Smart Strip that powers my PC junk..

I've discovered a hidden treasure in this little gadget..
When I step away from my PC for a while, the Windows power-save
setting take the PC down to low power. (Almost asleep).

I've got the sensitivity on the Smart strip set, so it sees the lower power
of the PC and turns off all the other stuff (monitor, speakers etc)..

When I come back and wiggle the mouse, everything quickly comes right back on..
