How do you use sleep mode?
When you tap the sleep key, the computer goes into a low power standby mode. Tapping the wake key brings the computer back up to a ready state. It is used instead of shutting down the computer because it is a faster way to get the computer up and running. Also, if you have a program running, there is no need to shut that off as it will be ready for you, where you left off when the computer wakes up. It is very similar to the 'hibernate' feature of many computers. Both sleep and hibernate are low power standby modes. I never use sleep mode because I see no advantage to being able to start up my PC that much faster than if I had just shut it down.
Extend the Life of Your Laptop Battery?
Many laptop owners are not aware that hibernate and standby mode are not the same. Instead of using the standby feature, more battery is saved when hibernate is selected. Hibernate shuts down the computer, but it also saves the current state of the computer. Battery life is extended, while all your work is put in limbo.

Apples approved way is to shut down the computer for at least 10 seconds then restart and press the Shift key immediately after the start up chime, hold it until you get the grey Apple logo and the spinning gear indicator.When done just restart normally.You can just restart then hold down the shift key instead of shutting the computer completely down but some trouble shooting steps are to cold start the computer, (shutting down for a few seconds to a few minutes to clear the ram, etc, and cool any overheated parts)

Can technology save money?
Technology can indeed save money. An electricity monitor is a good example. It is able to tell you how much electricity a given appliance is using. When used with a computer monitor, it will be able to tell you how much electricity you are saving by powering the monitor off completely instead of leaving it on standby. When you save electricity, you save money.

What is the different between letter of credit and standby letter of credit?
A letter of credit is used as a method to facilitate payment of international trade transactions (ie: the import/export of goods/services).Unlike a trade letter of credit, a standby letter of credit is NOT meant to be used for payment. A standby letter of credit is used as a form of "back-up" guarantee (hence the name "standby") used for a variety of purposes.There are two types of standby letters of credit: Performance Standby L.C. and Financial Standby L.C.Performance Standby's are used to guarantee some sort of performance of a contractual obligation. For example, a construction company building a highway bridge might be required by the highway department to put up a performance standby letter of credit ensuring that they will complete the project contracted or to warranty the work. Under normal circumstances the standby would not be drawn upon, however if the contractor abandoned the project midway through completion or if the bridge were unsafe, the standby letter of credit could be drawn upon for its specified dollar amount.A Financial Standby Letter of Credit is similar in concept to the Performance Standby, but instead acts as a guarantee for payment of financial obligations.For example, companies trading on securities markets are frequently required to have financial standbys in place benefiting the particular stock market exchange which can be drawn upon if they are for whatever reason unable to settle their trades at the end of the day.Financial standby's can also be used in international trade, but in a different manner than standard letters of credit.Normal trade letters of credit are intended to be used for pre-specified shipment(s) of goods or services. The letter of credit requires documents specifically evidencing the trade transaction itself and the letter of credit serves as the vehicle for payment of the trade transaction.When financial standby's are used for trade purposes, they are not intended as a means of payment, but as with all standby's, act as a "back-up" guarantee.Financial standbys frequently are used between buyers and sellers who have frequent, ongoing trade shipments for an extended period of time. The standby acts as a blanket guarantee for the overall obligations of the buyer to pay and does not contains specifics related to any one particular shipment.
