[SML] turning off light boards

[Jerry Durand]

Then there's all the "screen savers" which actually put MORE wear and
tear on flat panel screens by leaving the backlights on.  They also
often don't let the CPU sleep so they burn more power than when the
computer is on and idle.

I always set flat panel screens to auto power off at some reasonable
time depending on system use.  Not so keen on auto disk power down
except on a long timeout due to the wear of stopping/starting.
