To whom it may concern:

I own a portable mac and love it...but I wish I had more control over 
the hard disk and system speed.  I understand that right now I can do the
following:

1.  Keep everything (including the hard disk) while the machine is plugged
into the wall.

2.  Select the time for hard disk "sleep" and system "sleep" respectively.

I almost always have my machine plugged in.  What I would like is to be able
to turn off that (oh so noisy) hard drive at will without having to put the
whole system to sleep.  I would also like the option to have the hard drive
go off after x minutes but not ever have the system go to sleep (or even 
into the slow mode.)

Hey Apple!  How about it?

(I just re-read number 1 above.  Yes, there are gremlins hiding that jump out
and steal my computer whenever I unplug it.  :)   I leave the true meaning of
that sentence to be an exercise in intuition)

(Oh for a reasonable link to the Net.  I'm obviously not composing this on my
mac.)
