Hmm. An inverter large enough to run the refrigerator. Intersting
idea. Must look into that, thanks. The 'internet as news'
concept makes perfect sense as well.

When I picked up a Kill-A-Watt meter earlier this year, I ran
around the house checking usage. My new 21 c/f fridge takes
just 134 watts...with the door open and the pump running.

UFR!
