"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Don't feel so bad about your netbook, because I haven't yet seen a computer capable of playing back youtube HD without a hiccup.
That said, Vimeo HD is usually pretty fast, but as always, it depends a lot on the content. (read: it varies a lot)
