My friend says ... If you need to get a message to me don't email cos I only check about once a week. I say why. He says cos it takes so long for the computer to turn on. I say, leave it on and he says
are you kidding? That costs money. yeah I say, but not much. The he says how much was your last power bill. I say. About $500 for a quarter. He looks out the corner of his eye and says mine was $250. He is saving money no doubt but not with just turning his computer off. He must be turning his house off.
P.S. You might be aware we get hot in Australia. He had no real need for air con but just moved. Just installed air conditioning two days ago. I'll check his bill rate next quarter.
