I just use the mobo's power button to bring the system in and out of standby instead. Less time to the front end, and no bios.

Yeah, I just leave the PC powered on....

The switch on the back controls the TV and the powered speakers....so when it's "off" it's really just monitor and sound off....

I guess some people don't like to leave their PCs on, but let's see....I have 10 running all the time.... ;D

and no, my electric bill doesn't change if I turn them all off....

pmc:

Wave your arms around and fake a stroke until the BIOS screen passes. i.e., distract your visitors during boot. It's a cheap hack I guess.  :D

I would recommend to turn off your PC and just live with the bios screen.  It's a small sacrifice, you don't want to unnecessarily run your PS if your not at home.

So you turn on your computer... Then the power minder will not turn on until after your USB connects.  I believe this is when your LED comes on your mouse but I don't know for sure.

Anyway, cool item... I've been meaning to buy one for ages.
