| Sorry, but this request is house hold and is not specific to computers. But all my consumer electronics are either linked to computers or feature computer technologys of there own. like the HIFI/TV. Is it possible for MM to do a feature on just how much money/carbon is leaking from my house due to computerized consumer electronics. I have a PC which I use at the weekends only, or even less often, so this means that whilst the PC is so called off the psu is still keeping the MoBo battery charged, but @ what cost.
 The Lost Artifact is not lost. Why? Because I have it.

Mobo batteries last years. There is no need to leave the psu on.

I am running a test on my PC and its associated bits. Over the last three days I have used 15 pence worth of leccy. I switch on about 6 times a day for up to half an hour.

| BD get in there and do the article. We no longer have our video player plugged in. Strange, we never watch videos any more, but intill last week this machine was just plugged in for the clock.

I had too much bother getting paid for the last article I wrote. I have given up on journalism.

CMOS batteries are standard lithium cells, which are not rechargeable. They are there specifically to hold the BIOS chip settings when the PC is not turned on - just turn the PC off at the mains when it's not in use.
