Ditto.

I haven't slept a machine since my G5 Powermac. I had a problem with
wake-ups with that machine, even after several PRAM resets. There was
no sense in it. There wasn't a battery to conserve.

Is it an email app on the computer or is it web mail?

Ok, we teased the OP enough. Now we need a little more info from the OP.

3a.: Re: Internal Hard Drives

I took it to mean a group of hard drives, and possibly Random Array of Independent Drives, or RAID. But it could mean just several hard drives, not necessarily all connected at the same time.

In my set up, I have a Drobo (RAID) connected to my Airport Extreme, and plug in several other bare internal drives using a couple of drive docks directly to my Mac.

I believe the "R" is usually taken as meaning "Redundant"; the "I"
used to be "Inexpensive" but is now normally understood to be
"Independent".
See http://foldoc.org/RAID
