My Power bill has gone up by about $ 7 for the month (i.e., 52 kWh). This averages to a consumption of about 72 W which seems somewhat low. Given the fluctuation in consumtion by other appliances, one might assume that 100--150 W is a correct ballpark figure. It would still be nice if one could switch the monitor off, though, when away from the machine for more than, say, 4 hours. Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
