Only problem with switching it off everytime I'm finished with the TV, etc., is the powerboard that all the "permanent stand-by" stuff is plugged into is behind a rather large entertainment unit thingy.
It's not on wheels and I have to do my best contortionist impression just to reach the board, so...but then if I was overly concerned about conserving power I wouldn't be running an overclocked PC...
@sheik: Agreed, CFL "bulbs" are horrible. The halogen ones are better, though still pricey, and the best part is they are an actual bulb, so they fit anywhere the filament bulbs did.
@Zoo: A couple of months ago, I heard the monorail is going to be torn down and the tram/light rail network is going to be extended.
It never really was a success, not sure why, high ticket prices and a poor station layout I think.
Yeah, if you're lucky enough to live/work close to it, it's pricey but it works. Problem is, there's so many areas where it's just not a viable option.
One week 'til winter and it's already too cold...
