I figure that the cost of a computer to run it for a full day is about $1.50 CDN or $1.20 US based on our power rates in Nova Scotia. So if this is eomthing you do on a regular basis you can make a savings of about $30 every month or two... I don't know about you guys but I consider this a substantial savings, especially throughout the entire year.

If you use a laptop however your device tends to be much lower power anyway, you probably wouldn't save more than a few cents.
