Oh you'd be surprised. There was an article a while ago in Circuit Cellar
magazine where the author (I think it was Steve Ciarcia himself) described
the originas of his high electric bills as surprising...all those clock
radios, microwave, dishwasher, TVs etc, etc. despite being 'off' still
collectively drew a lot of current that addded up. I have a friend who
uses power strips to turn off *everything*. He says it's the only
solution these days.
