So I think that if I just unplug everything for a year or so, the cost should be covered. I've thought about hiring it out to <strike>gullible</strike> environmentally conscious people - five pounds a day sounds good to me. I think my XBox has got so confused by all the different variants of Vista that it's given up and is beaming out "buy a Mac, buy a Mac" instead. The meter only cost me £15.

Also, it's spying on your sleeping habits for Microsoft while indoctrinating you with the subliminal suggestion that you MUST BUY WINDOWS VISTA(TM) AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP (AND BUY A COPY FOR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TOO).

Pretty much anything that uses a transformer will still draw power when turned off - desk lamps, laptops, phone chargers, LCD screens, radios etc. There’s a reason why I unplug my Mac Mini when I turn it off :) .
