Yeah. I've been wondering about this a bit myself.  If either of you decide
to go ahead and try to install such a switch, be sure to post a message
in this group so we can all benefit (especially if your results are good).
I personally know of at least four people who would be interested in this
modification if good, knowledgeable, people like yourselves were to do a
nice, clear concise writeup of the procedure.  I *KNOW* I could save at least
$10.00 monthly on my electric bill and probably *DOUBLE* the life expectancy
of my monitor in the process. Yeah. That's the ticket.
