Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] A Little mor on Smart Strips

So, I was thinking about these smart strips a little more. For me, one
problem would be that I still use an external speech synth. The synth has a
battery, on the Dec Express it is internal, on the MiniTransport it is
easily removable. But, on the Dec Express, when the power is turned off at
the powerstrip, the Dec continues to operate on the battery, so you would
still have to turn it off separately from the computer.

Secondly, rather than having a smart strip, could you simply have an outlet
that is controlled by the light switch in the room, plug your regular stupid
strip into that socket, then when you leave the room, and being a nice green
person, you would of course, shut off the light, then the power to that
outlet would be killed and all peripherals would die quietly. Wouldn't this
achieve the same goal?
