Be grateful you can turn it off! Most things in the USA, if they p;lug
in, can't be turned off. They go to "standby" meaning they are still
consuming power. Home theater components, PCs, monitors, most devices
in the kitchen... so they get an "energy star" award if you can't turn
them off, the star telling you how efficient they are!
