Am I the only one who realises (and appreciates) the fact that if you hit whichever key in the first second after hitting the power button, the computer doesn't go to sleep? It's actually a very thoughtful feature, it surprises me that no one at all mentioned it.

- madeofpalk 13y agoWhen I accidently hit the power button, it's usually followed by a flurry of furious key strokes to quickly wake the machine up. It appears that before the machine actually goes to sleep, there is a brief period of about 5 seconds where it's stil on, but the screen powered off.

- mosselman 13y agoI can't reproduce what you say so I assume that you have disabled the password lock of Mac OS and because of the speed of your macbook it seems as if it doesn't go to sleep and then come back even though it does. When I do what you say I get confronted with the lock screen after things like music stopping and the mac going to sleep for a split second.
- adrenalinup 13y agoI cannot reproduce this. However, if I press the power button for a very brief delay, it will not go to sleep. If I leave it pressed slightly longer, it goes to sleep.
