Re: [e-users] (no subject)

Once again, thank you for detailed suggestion. I will definitely use it,
perhaps with addition of a shorter timeout for low power mode of the HDD. I
consider the problem solved.
I am happy I was able to discuss my problem with one of the core developers
of the EFL and Enlightenment. Currently I am moving to Enlightenment and
some things are quite new, but it is truly a breath of fresh air after
years of KDE and Gnome.
