[HM] Re: screen goes dark and never comes back

[Chris Beamis]

I got as close to that as I could in 10.2.4, but the best I could do 
was to
get the screen to go to sleep, but the machine kept running.
Someone on another list noticed that the times associated with my posts
were showing as Wed, 31 Dec 1969 which you can see below, and
suggested that I may have a PRAM battery problem.  So I'm going to
call the shop tomorrow and see if they can help.  We'll see if it is
related to the sleep problem.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Chris
