Since I'm plugging the Mac, I might as well also point out that the latest 773MHz G4s use 17 Watts max load. I'm often dissapointed that Apple doesn't do more to tout the energy efficiency of their hardware.
Hmm.. 17 watts. Of course, that's just the CPU, but I just noticed that
The CPU chips on the previous G4s use only about 4 or 5 watts (I suspect it hasn't changed much). It's a lot less than a P3 because it's RISC vs CISC chips.
where I'm working right now is primarily lit by 2 22-watt flourescent lights..
So.. How many of you kill the flourescents in your back-office cubicle farms during a California-style power crunch? ;)
For that matter - send the cubicle critters home. You ever *looked* at how many watts the average human body outputs? ;)

Most people I know don't power their bodies from a wall socket... Of course, people that spec A/C do indeed take into account the heat generated by the occupants.
