No need to stock up on old technology,

Too late. I've already piled up about 400 60W clear
bulbs.


If you pay 10 cents/kilowatt and get 1000 hours life per
bulb, those 400 bulbs will cost you $2,400 for
electricity.
Personally I'd use CFL or LED bulbs and pocket the $1,800
savings....but that's just me. ;-)

Absolutely irrelevant. CFLs are *UGLY* and LEDs ain't
ready for primetime
(not that CFLs are, for that matter).

With the exception of the oven, refrigerators and the dryer,
I don't have a single incandescent bulb in the house.
