Blast (love the moniker!),

A chemist, huh?? My quantitative analysis professors tried for 2 quarters to teach me how to figure molar quantities (or is it volumes?). I promised never to try & titrate anything if they'd just give me a 'C' and let me get the he## out of the Chem Building!

My baby sister, though, got a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from UC Berkeley. Go figure. She got all my chemistry genes. <img src="images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

It sounds as though you're in good company with your neighbors. All of you can contribute & no one will be leeching off the others with the genny use.

In your first post about your 25W TV-- I thought that was kind of high until I doublechecked my little 'Tornado Room' 5" B&W TV. It pulls 18W! I was surprised at that -- thought it would have been way less. It will also run off TEN 'C' cell batts, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised.
