I was told by Godaddy that I need to name my nameservers. I’ve already set up everything else such as cname, but the 2 nameservers stump me. They told me to check with MobileMe, and I always come to Gary for MobileMe questions. :-)

Hi Gary,
For some reason, my MacBook Pro will consume half the battery (recently replaced at the Apple Store) over a few hours when it’s asleep.
Is there any way to troubleshoot, to find out which processes are causing this unusual drain?
Thanks,
Luigi
