True. > 2) Other heatsources are also based on electricity Not necessarily true. It was my message you originally replied to, and the apartment where I live has central heating, such that the heating is included in teh rent, and does not show up on the electricity bill (and I don't think the heating uses electricity anyway.) Power used by the computer is relevant for me, and shows up directly on the electricity bill (while heating does not.) -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
