computer use hints

spending hours a day in front of the computer, two back-to-back articles in the register caught my attention:

- computer energy use

Power consumption fluctuates so much depending on use that it is extremely difficult to calculate. As a very rough rule of thumb, the quieter a computer is, the lower the power consumption.

there are some rather obvious hints including screensavers don't do anything, while power-saving functions naturally do...

- the reg continues with some ergonomic hints about the the man-machine dynamic, including placement and use
