I have written a useful desk accessory that can also be fun.  It is called
"Sleep".  People like me who like to leave their Macs on for months at a time
sometimes get tired of turning the brightness control down to prevent the
display from being burned in (it's hard to reach behind the keyboard).  This
accessory solves the problem by totally blacking out the screen (except for
an apple bouncing about) until the mouse is clicked and the screen is
restored.

The fun part is not having well-meaning Mac borrowers turn your Mac OFF, not
realizing that it is already ON with zero brightness.  It's also interesting
that people keep asking "what the hell is your Mac doing?".

I've posted a fromhex version of the installer program to net.sources.  By
the way, I'm a starving college student, and all donations will be gratefully
accepted (how's that for low pressure?).

Any opinions contained in the above could very well be so different from
those of CMU itself that it would be ludicrous to compare the two.
