A month has gone by since I installed this on my iMAC and personal and business PC's. The home electric bills don't mean anything, since too many things are mixed up in the bills like TV's and air conditioning. So I bought 3 Kilawatts and put one on each computer. Ran the Kilawatt 2 weeks without the software and 2 weeks with it. The weeks without the software were about $ 17 higher than the ones with it. That's over $ 340 a year in electricity savings for 3 computers. The software pays for itself over and over and over again month after month. Don't even ask me to compare the software with the PC power management settings, which are USELESS. Mac is no better when it comes to power saving. The best thing is, the software is POLITE. It won't go to sleep if you are downloading stuff, or if you have a program running. Otherwise my daughter would have complained about shutting off her Sims. Too bad. I wish it shut that off. The point is, it works and it isnt annoying. How long does the free trial last? It's already been over a month now. Hey!
