EEW! I noticed something else, Twilight kicks in when it "shouldn't."
I mean that it starts up when the computer really is working on
something. I did a very large Finder copy (from the latest developer
CD - about 26MB of stuff). During the copy, Twilight kicked in and I
had to babysit the machine to wake it back up every now and then (the
copy stops when Twilight kicks in). Perhaps Twilight should be changed
so that it kicks in when there is no OS activity as well as kbd/mouse
idleness.

Every now and then one makes a mistake. Mine was probably this post.
