I also use my PDA regularly, even to the extent of doing a lot of my Word editing on it instead of the laptop (and since it's a PDA, I can read e-books without needing an additional light).

The result is a very significant cut in my daily power use, and the shutting-down of an entire power strip of peripherals that used to draw phantom loads all day long.

Your move, pardner.
