Thats .05/Kw hour, so a computer might cost you from .43 to $4.38 per 
year. Have you thought of applying to electric companies for jobs. 
Francis, you working for a government entity in any capacity scares the 
shit out of me.

hour. Leaving the computer "on" all the time, in one year figures to 
cost $438 in electricity. Can that be right?!?!?!? I hear that battery 
operated radios run $600 per year in batteries alone if on all the 
time, and they cost as little as $5 to buy the receiver.
I figured it with a calculator.

I just signed up for a package deal with Grande communications.  I get  
digital cable, high speed internet, and land-line phone for $89 plus 
tax.  About $110 a month total.  I am currently paying $98 a month for 
non-digital cable and internet, plus about $38 for phone.  I think I 
will be saving about $25 a month.  One thing that is different between 
cable phone and land-line phone--cable phone you cannot call 911.  That 
is what Grande told me.  If you have a cell phone also, you could call 
911 if you needed on it.  I don't leave my computer on all the time, 
but I do have a firewall, since I leave it on and therefore, connected 
to the internet much more than when I had dialup.  If you have cable 
phone, you need the computer on all the time you want to get a phone 
call.  Be SURE you have a good firewall.  I use the free download Zone 
Alarm, and I recommend it.  Jim Strong has recommended a different one. 
  But don't leave a Microsoft computer sitting there on the internet 
without a firewall.
