Microsoft "We don't want to put a damper on everyone's spirits" in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, Ms. McCorkle said, although the system operator would not discourage Californians from dimming the lights during periods of peak demand.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Laptop Computer Holiday lighting displays add about 1,000 megawatts of consumption, roughly equal to the production of a typical nuclear power plant. Last year that consumption alarmed grid managers, who were scouring the West to find enough energy to prevent blackouts.

Was the great California energy crisis that left millions of residents reeling from rolling blackouts and that cost the state billions of dollars a scam A report issued a few days ago by California's Public Utilities Commission doesn't put it that way, but it strongly suggests something was amiss whenever the lights went out. The panel, after 18 months of investigation, has concluded that the state's five biggest private power producers withheld electricity that their plants were capable of producing during 2000 and 2001 when California needed it most.

Throughout the holiday season, the tree's lights were turned on after 7 p.m., when power demand typically drops. State officials have not decided whether the 50-foot Christmas tree at the Capitol here will be on a more traditional schedule this year, with the lights turned on at dusk.

Notebooks The tight margins of last year were complicated by financial issues, with generators fearing that they would not be paid if they sold power to California's big publicly traded utilities, which were on the brink of bankruptcy. Since then, the state has stepped in to buy power for customers of three cash-starved utilities, and federal regulators have adopted an order that requires generators to bid in the California market.

Hard Drive Darla Davis, spokeswoman for Sea World, in San Diego, said it would light its Christmas tree next week but was ready to cut back if the state's power outlook worsened.

Travelstar Last year the Sea World tree was lighted on a limited schedule. This year the hours will be expanded, Ms. Davis said, and the park will also be brightened by its 320-foot tower of lights, which was turned on late and off early each night last year.

Gateway "We are still very conscious of our energy use," she said. "If we need to, if they put out a warning, we'll cut back."
