[Cube] maintenance issues, Onyx and Cube running tiger

[Steven Southerden Dive]

I agree with AJ.

I have the Apple Studio Display CRT 17 in, so when on it uses quite a  
bit of power, so I sleep it automatically at 10 mins., which  
effectively turns off its power except to the USP ports.

I don't even power off the Cube for thunderstorms, as most HT, house  
electricty supplies and phone lines in the UK are underground, so are  
a bit better protected than many US 'over-ground' cables.  I do use  
some additional in-line power protection, though, just to be on the  
safe side.
