I think perhaps you missed a few lessons in your electronics class. Power is not equal to Voltage times Current for AC systems unless the power factor is 1. For the switching power supplies in computers the power factor is usually in the 0.6-0.7 range so the actual amount of power you are using is 60%-70% of what you are indicating.
Ok, so we have lots of advice for installing Corel Linux without a CD burner when you already have Linux. Anyone got any advice for us poor saps that only have Windows (95) and don't have a burner?
