No because it does not seem practical to be turning off hard drives,  
scanner and so on. If I wanted that much 'closing down' I might as

Incidentally the G5 is a @GHz dual not the apparently troublesome  
1.8.  Sound as if this is  one of those things one will have to live  
with.

Thanks for the suggestions
