Mac programs shouldn't sleep unless there's nothing going on with them. It doesn't just take into effect keyboard/mouse movement, it also takes into effect actions occurring within the program. Sort of like how I can start Quicktime if I'm rendering a movie and leave it on overnight to do the rendering. Please fix OOTP so that if you're running a big simulation, it keeps the computer "active" and doesn't start the sleep timer. Thanks!

hmm, ive never had an issue w/the os going to sleep in the middle of running a league, and i did a lot of long sims (ie 1901-current), never once did it sleep, just screen saver.
my macbook is set to sleep after 45 min inactive, "i unchecked the box for putting the hard disk(s) to sleep whenever possible."
i can bring this to the beta team, though i didnt hear anything from the rest of the mac team about this coming up before.
edit: im currently using 10.4.9
