Thanks!

Sep 27, 2012 5:43 AM in response to b j tby mrdctaylor,I saw that blurb in the release notes, but because it in no way references putting the unit to sleep, I assumed that it did not affect that. I figured either you had to be on the top row (where you can't re-arrange icons) to put it to sleep or it would do it anyway if you just kept holding it down. It wouldn't have hurt Apple to put a sentence in the release notes about this.
