Hi Dave et al,

	I _have_ used my RP5470 as a heater, in the middle of winter it will keep 
this room about 5 degrees C warmer. It spent most of last winter chewing on 
Seti@home by way of something useful to do. This is how I found out about the 
power bill :-(.

	I am nowhere near Adelaide, that city is about an 8 hour drive from here. I 
am about 40 minutes from the city of Melbourne in the state of Victoria.

Cheers,

Geoff.
