  Some kind of free energy saving software for computers.  I saw it on
the news and looked up the website.  Looks OK but you never know.

Save energy.  Switch your computer to the "0" mode (there is a switch that
lets you go between "1" mode and "0" mode).

Weren't some early IBM PCs even labeled "1" and "0" on their power switches?
(Albeit stylized to be more like a capital I and a big O?)

If you're being paid for your time, it's seldom cheaper to completely power
down a PC than to just leave it in standyby overnight.
