I've already converted my daily computer use from my desktop, which I often turned on the minute I came home and left on until I went to bed... or all night and weekends... to a laptop that uses significantly less power, and sleeps and turns on and off more rapidly and efficiently. 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.
