Question from a Poor Pass owner

(three prong timer) that is. I type too fast!

A note for those proud Pass owners using their Aleph amplifiers to cook pancakes: if you don't use a Teflon spatula, you will void the warranty. Thank you for your ongoing support!

No Carl.I dont turn my lights ON, Im SO CHEAP!! I thought this was a legit question.I wanted to know if my electric bill would go through the roof is all.Can you send me $20 a month to help out a poor Pass owner?? Come on Carl!! You owe me!!!!

Thanks Peter, and thank for the great accessory recommendation. I am now the proud owner of a Pass Labs Aleph S single ended Reference Spatula, for the discerning hotcake flipper ($499 - a demo). Seriously though, the pancakes do add a little extra dampening + leave a pleasing residual hue. Uncle Buck's flapjack mix works fine, but you HAVE to use special Cardas Golden Chicken Eggs.

Actually, I believe a light bulb uses the same amount of electricity in the initial turn on as it does just to run for 30 minutes. So you actually waste more electricity turning the lights on and off everytime you leave the room, (depending upon how often you go in and out of course). Not to mention the initial surge of electricity places stress on the tungsten filament shortening its life meaning you'll go through more bulbs too. (I'm not as sure on flourescents). So leaving the lights on can be a good thing.
