You know... the one with all the calculations about how much it will cost per year if we did leave the computer on all the time? Running a webserver/FTP server on this machine and I want to know if it's gonna kill my wallet... Thx.

If memory serves me correctly, I think it was $130/year in CA (higher than anywhere else).

I have been noticing lots of posts missing, but not sure why...

Cool... can you give me a figure to compare that with... say just having it on for about 8 hours a day, every day, instead of 24/7.

Thanks!

My fault, I didn't mean to make it seem as technical as that... during the weekends, I'd obviously have it on longer than 8 hours. I want real-world usage calculations if you can provide them... thanks.
