Have a look - how can they get it so wrong by a magnitude of.....???


Clearly shome mistake.

It might be interesting to know just how many million of these 'little black
boxes' (wall warts) are plugged in 24/7 and how much power is used to keep
them energised - even when the mobile is away being used.

I have three little black boxes, but it is hardly worth worrying about when
I'm running a 2 KW electric fire, an immersion heater, a washing machine and
a tumble drier.
