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? -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
