  That would be true if PCs consumed the exact same amount of energy
regardless of what you are doing with them. Of course that's not the case.

	I can tell you didn't understand what the person you're responding to said.

	It's a very bad idea to take something you don't understand and assume
the worst.

	If you were behind this initiative, I'd already have decided not to
join. Your attitude is one I've seen in plenty of voluntary work. If
those people don't leave, other volunteers do.

My mistake, non-native English "speacker" here, you would find I make 
errors on my post because of this, I eventually find them myself and I 
try to self-correct me, but eventually will happen. Thanks for the 
correction tho.

I don't understand that expression, you mean I should calm down? well it 
has a degree of irritation that SOMEBODY writes/speaks something he 
doesn't know and starts assuming too much and finally based on those 
false assumptions saying, "is wrong/bad", don't you think?

It used to be, when they first came out. Nowadays they've gotten better, and 
it's only a couple of minutes, or even close to instant.

I remember my wife calling me (when working from home) asking me to turn on 
the kitchen lights when she left work, so we could see to cook when she got 
home. :-)
