Well, I know it cost me a solid couple of days processing time for GIMPS.
My apartment was apparently blacked out briefly while I was at work, and
I've been turning my computers off in the evening to conserve, when
normally they'd be on.
The blackouts themselves have been brief, but they have happened. I'm in
San Francisco, although most of the reports I've heard have been from just
outside the bay area.
