What an energy vampire! Do people really run these things for 4 hours a day as recommended, yet only sit in it for about 15 minutes? Crazy! Now if we could just bring ourselves to actually turn off our computers when not using them.

Let me back up your sage advice with some numbers. My hydro provider changed its billing system last summer (from monthly average based on your previous year, to monthly actual amounts), so the first month that I can really compare is September. My September 2005 bill was $33.82. Started unplugging the microwave and the tv (just those two things) in January 2006. September 2006 bill was $22.02. Coincidence? I don't think so. I never understand why people are resistant to making changes that are good for the Earth. So often they turn out to be good for the pocket book, too. Unless it's because everyone else just has more money than me... Noogies, TSS Hey Chekhov,
