The older I got (get) the more I could see the sense in reducing the 
load to near zero.  In a conversation with several others yesterday we 
all agreed
that the bit of power we'd miss most would be that which powers our 
computers....  But we (that particular group) have all been around since 
before
Eniac, so if we don't have computers, we'll not be too injured; some 
experience the bonus for getting older.
