Dear Jeroen,

If an AMD 1.3 Ghz is pulling 73 watts then I think that the dual 1.2 Ghz should
pull about 130 to 140 watts.  Adding a monitor and a printer and you could be up
to 500 watts.  Sounds expensive.  Try running that on a hot summer day and you
will really need an air conditioner.  That is another 1000 to 6000 watts.
Maybe we should wait for the 0.13 micron processors that only use 60% of the
present computers power.
