[X Newbies] Does cron do its work if the CPU is sleeping

[Carter Tomassi]

Thanks Alex,
I find "Help" less than helpful usually. But I didn't know 
KnowledgeBase was so easy to reach in Sherlock. There is a lot to learn 
in OS X. And I do have to say that these machines, although much more 
powerful, also require a higher skill level. That will ultimately hurt 
Apple. IMHO. They should be as easy to run as a tv.

BTW, I did do searches for cron last night and Help was a big fat Zero. 
Pogue's book helps some. I just wish he had mentioned Sleep. Your 
suggestion of KB 107388 really did help, though. It was especially nice 
of Apple to include third party apps.
