If you know when your computer won’t be in use and that a full shut down doesn’t make sense to you, especially during lunch or dinner hours, this program comes as a life saver. For those of you who are confused, it’s a new free software program that has been developed by Verdiem which helps cut PC energy by allowing users to schedule it when their computer goes into sleep mode. It’s a win - win situation as Edison is a free version of the Surveyor software program.
Apart from this it also allows users to schedule when to shut down the screen and hard drive, and it lets users see how much electricity, CO2 emissions, and money they’re saving through their use of the software, as PCs are responsible for as much as 10% of a home’s energy bill. It also saves about 410 kilowatt hours a year ($37), which in turn helps you save a lot more money than you could have imagined, making it an excellent deal for your house or office. After all, it’s just loading up a free software that’s delivering the user so many benefits!

Hey Nithya, this is nice.. will try it out
Yes you should! Even i should. I was thoroughly impressed when i wrote it. Every month when the electricity bill comes, my folks are in a fit of rage. I am really glad that something like this is available, these things are life savers! Thanks to this something like this, we have something to cut down the bill and that too for free. Truly amazing i say!
I downloaded it but am not able to get it to work. Keeps saying it needs to register and can’t find net connection. I even disabled firewall and anti-virus.. guess thats wot you get when its free :(
Oh you downloaded it! I was just about to do the same. So what’s happening? I doubt you need to register, I mean they claim to provide this facility for free. I guess the only way I will understand it, is by downloading it myself. will let you know the results in some time :)
Nithya, did you download this? Still does not work for me :(
