| 590852 | 2007-09-13 17:49:00 | Wanting to do my part in saving the planet (yeah..sure!) I thought I might pass this on to youse guys with your silly 240 volt/single-wire-to-ground system in Upsidedown Land. The link opens to a site (blogs.zdnet.com) (ZDNet) that ran some pretty interesting tests on the two options with CRT and Jellyscreen setups. Here's a site for Blackle. (http://blackle.com/) Read here too. (blackle.com) Just thought you'd like to know...........;) |

| 590853 | 2007-09-13 21:10:00 | Lol, so the motto of the story is: If you still own a CRT, chuck it. Blackle does look kind of cool, though. Oh and if anyone has any good working flat screen sony or Viewsonic CRTs they want to throw away to help prolong the life of this panet, I'll be happy to take them off your hands and 'dispose' of them is an enviromentally friendly manner. I'll even pay postage!! :p |

You do know everything works twice as fast here with our increased voltage, from shaving in the morning, cooking toast everything. We only need our lights on half as long cause they go twice as fast as yours. Did I mention the TV show 60minutes only takes half an hour to watch.:rolleyes: |

| 590855 | 2007-09-13 22:24:00 | Don't worry Surferjoe46, I'm sure you will be allowed full, adult voltaages eventually. (It's probably only the lax immigration enforcement that prevents you being able to unleash the full power yet.) Another problem is that your hydro-electric schemes naturally can't work at their full potential if the water is upside down. |
