You can be sure that anything which uses an external power supply, cube, wallwart and the like is using some power all the time. Feel the wall warts, often they're quite warm all the time.
At least industry seems to be aware of this waist and newer stuff is better. If I bought a microwave that had to have its time set before it'd work, I'd take it back and yell. Shouldn't "stupid design" be a cause for product return? Oh, then so many of us should be returned for warranty repair! <GRIN> Well, not "us" but "them"! Tom Fowle
