  CODA is getting an early retirement.   It's a very nice machine (a DS20E)
but it uses nearly 500W and with the marginal electricity rate here in CA at
something like 38 cents/kWh 

Here's a comparison you won't enjoy:

Manitoba (Canada) has an electric rate of about $0.06 / kWh, and something like 99% hydro power.   (I think there's one coal plant in the province.)

But you have to put up with mosquitoes in the summer and -40 (C/F - doesn't matter) in the winter to get those rates...
