Color stations have a separate power switch on the monitor.  So all he did was  
to turn off the monitor.  The CPU continues to run fine.  (We do it all the  
time.  You can just turn the monitor back on and everything will be fine.  (At  
least, if you've logged off before turning it off.  I don't know if everything  
would be fine if you were logged on at the time.))

>2. If it can be done on Color, can it be done on Mono?

Not that I know of.  There's certainly no separate power switch.
