			<outline created="Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:10:10 GMT" text="I now live in a small one-bedroom apartment. My desk, and main computer, are in the bedroom. So the fact that the computer turns the screen back on at apparently random times is not only a waste of energy, it's a wake-up call."></outline>
			<outline text="I have the &lt;a href=&quot;http://images.scripting.com/archiveScriptingCom/2010/04/22/energySaverPrefs.gif&quot;&gt;Energy Saver preference&lt;/a&gt; set to turn the screen off after 15 minutes of no use. That does happen, but the screen just comes back on. I've tried quitting all the apps, thinking it might be one of them that is asking for the screen to be re-lit, but it makes no difference."></outline>
			<outline created="Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:17:31 GMT" text="Okay, so I thought -- let's just put the computer to sleep using the Sleep command in the Apple menu. It doesn't help. It just wakes up, on its own. When it wakes up, the monitor turns on, full brightness."></outline>

When it wakes up it turns the monitor up to full brightness."></outline>
