Not in Las Vegas Don,

So, when you leave your main desktop is on 24-7, which you would have to
do in order to log in to it from your laptop computer in order to post
to avlv using Google groups, which is how you tell us you do it. That
means you are spending between $500 and $600 a year to keep your main
desktop computer powered up?

Wow. It is a good thing that wwww.mysupersecretvegas.com and all those
free autoresponders you have are a never ending lifetime source of cash
for you.

www.michaelbluejay.com reports that if your 150 watt PC and its 17" LCD
are left on 24/7 for a full year it will use.....
112 KWH/mo
and cost $16.80 a month at a rate of .15 per KWH.
or $202 a year.
Nice to know info from the jerk.
