power vampires

NY TIMES....according to a recent NY Times article, consumers in the United States spend $1 billion a year to power electronic devices that have been turned off...such as cell phone rechargers, large screen tv's and cable boxes. i don't think it mentioned computers but i haven't read the whole article. i do not ever turn off my computer unless we are having a thunderstorm. it's on all the time. Hinoserm told me to do this and he explained why but i forget why. when it comes to computers and electronics, i just do whatever he says. he could say, "stand in front of your monitor and twirl around three times and say 'work, work,work' to turn the computer 'on' " and i would do it because, yes, you've heard it before...i an THAT computer illiterate!
