Roy,
 I'm an ISP in the SE Michigan/NW Ohio area. In addition, we have had a BBS 
for 11 years. So there's the BBS machine and its 2 "nannys", the Internet 
server (eSoft's IPAD), the old Web Server, the new Web server, and my 
personal machines. The latter 2 get shut off at times, but that still leaves 
6, plus a pile of modems. The latter draw less than 5 watts/each, but I have 
nearly 40 of 'em. It all adds up.
It isn't enough, of course, so the stove keeps on cooking away. I hear the 
draft control clunking as I type this. :-)
