That depends on how rich you feel. :)   Differential cost of power (that 
is, at the highest rate I'm paying here in CA) is $.35/kWh. At that 
rate, leaving an Astron linear supply on 24/7 would cost me more than 
$20/month. Depending on where you live, you may not be getting screwed 
by your power company as badly as we are. Thank you, Enron.
