Hi all,

The Computers Off Australia campaign was launched in Sydney today ..

   http://www.computersoffaustralia.org/

'By turning off your PC overnight, you will save as much energy as it takes

     *          to run a clock radio for over 3 weeks
     *          to make over 20 bags of microwave popcorn
     *          to wash over 1 load of washing
     *          to blow dry your hair over 12 times
     *          to vacuum for over 1 hour
     *          to light a 60 watt light bulb for more than 17 hours

. and you will save approximately 100 kgs of brown coal being incinerated'
