[X4U] Lack of sleep

[RR]

This is a well documented bug for SP 1.8Ghz G5 Tower (600mhzFSB).   
Apple recommends you do not allow your mac to sleep.  That is a round  
about way of saying this mac can't sleep.  There are several other  
things this machine can't do either.

It's a very long read but happens to be loaded with insights on the  
SP 1.8Ghz G5 Tower.  It also helps explain why apple dropped this  
product.

Unfortunately it documents that apple's hardware design team and  
software integration team might not really be a team.  Many of the  
defects documented so heavily in the SP 1.8Ghz G5 Tower also manifest  
themselves in the rest of the G5 product line.  Ominous.

Tiger, quite frankly - SUCKS.
