Does this analysis include the cost of power? Given your general interest in technology, my assumption is that you probably HAD a PC already turned on inside your house 24 X 7 X 365, before buying the MJ. But I don't. My interest is in eliminating my home phone line, but if I have to keep a PC turned on all the time, that must be part of the math.
