Actually I just installed this on my iMac (and it worked).

Why? Because I like to turn the machine off at night, but I hate having to go through the initial cold boot in the morning, login, wait for apps to launch, open documents, etc.

"So just use 'sleep'!" someone will say.

Well, if my iMac wasn't so jittery, I would. I've never met such a light sleeper (well, except for my wife). If I walk next to it, it will wake up. Which wakes up the external drive. And fetches my email. Did I remember to mute the computer, or will I hear my "New Mail" chime?

This is a perfect solution. It takes only moments longer than waking from sleep, and doesn't put extra wear/tear on the computer/drives.

Only downside is that when it is Hibernated, an iPhone plugged into the iMac will not charge. I have an AC charger I usually use at night anyway.
