"Off" isn't always "off". I've found that even when powered down,
sometimes a box (according to my Kill-a-Watt meter) is still
using power somewhere/somehow. I've heard that some Mobo's
had a red LED on them for that very purpose - to remind people
that even with the 'puter "off", there's still voltage at/on
the Mobo. "Unplugged" is "off" the world around, though.
