Thanx : I've reset the former to 30 min , which provokes a big ref warning re increased power consumption, but I'm more concerned re the strain when restarting the fans etc than on the minute amount of electricity used while they're running. Does anyone have info re which is more stressful for fans, letting them run continuously for days or switching them off/on ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatcadotinterdotnet
