Well i work it out differently.
180 watts x 24 = 4.3 units x 12c a unit
= 51c a day x 365 = $188

Now i live in Auckland and since the south island produces most of our power, but has to pay hiher power prices, could explain the difference between the 14c and 12c a unit.
On the other hand i went for 180 watts, over Godfathers 200.
The reason being that the monitor can go into standby lets say after 15 minutes of not in use. now a processor (AMD) uses around 100 watt, so there is still 80w discrepance in my calculation.
But really..... who gives a #R@/.

Never presume. Cheap answer phone from The Warehouse. The answer phone answers the call and the fax listens in for something like 15 secs. If it hears the fax tones it grabs the call otherwise it stops listening and leaves the answerphone to it.

If we answer the phone and it's a fax we just press the code for the fax and hang up.

Only real problems are:
- the answer machine cuts in after 4 rings which can set us running.
- the message on the machine has to be short and sweet
