Ralph Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Thanks for that Howie. You made me feel quite "normal" I was going to forward it to my wife but I'm not that brave (or stupid?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usinmyknaus Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 While I am waiting for my van to arrive from our German cousins I reckon my time on here is very well spent. Every good idea is written down and put in a ringbinder ready to be incorporated when my Knaus finally graces the driveway so, even as a complete newbie to MHing I should be able to look forward to a relatively snag-free first few trips. Like all married men I have to maintain a reputation as a technical "miracle worker" for the OH! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Newell Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Probably about two to three hours a day on average but some of that is for work. Honestly I don't spend all of my time lurking around here. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethleff Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 michele - 2007-05-20 8:04 PM 2-3 hours Don but then as Howie says probably seems longer as we always leave them on all over the house ! Never log off but then thats what we are paying for ....So I,m on when I,m off ;-) My wife and I both have computers, we never switched them off. When the cost of energy went sky high, I phoned Powergen, asking what it cost to run a PC. I was quoted 7P TO 11P an hour. So at the lowest cost, if their quote was correct, equals 7p* 24* 90 days a quarter =£151.20 So 2 pc's were costing £302.40 a quarter. We only turn them on now when we use them, and my electric bill as dropped like a stone. Sorry Don, not trying to hijack your thread. Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot make that work out, are you saying that is if you leave your computer on 24 hours a day, I worked it out using it 4 hours a day and it comes to little over a £100 per year!

Must admit to being supprised at how much it costs to run a puter though. Never leave anything on standby. Use it then knock it straight off.
