Hello:

Thanks a bunch for providing all this useful information...Since I 
don't like the extra heat being produced by the non fan cooled power 
supply when the unit is plugged in I've decided to just leave it 
totally unplugged...Seems like only a matter of time before it might 
burn up prematurely plus I always thought that extra heat to the 
heads when not necessary would be detrimental as well...

Again, thanks for all your insight...
