  Uhh, compared to what, man?  It's all relative.  The AlphaServer800
with the A5000 FC-AL array in my computer room pulls a LOT more power
than the average PeeCee.  By contrast, the QYXie (the project I'm
working on) pulls about 50mA when it's not transmitting.

  Ahh, but you're learning...you're getting out of college.  Those who
don't learn are doomed to suffer the fate of sore feet.

  Life is all about avoiding pitfalls, or so I've found.

  Besides...The machine in question was listed as having been obtained
for the princely sum of $0.00.  While a certain good friend of mine
has a PeeCee that he paid nearly TEN THOUSAND FUCKING DOLLARS
for...for what application?  Video games.  *sigh*
