Snow Leopard Wakes Your Computer On Demand

Snow Leopard adds a new networking feature which wakes your computer from sleep when its needed.

The feature called Wake on Demand works in conjunction with your base station. Snow Leopard lets your computer go to sleep while the base station continues to broadcast Bonjour messages about the services your sleep computer offers.
