I wouldn't dare try it. My sister says we should always turn our electrical appliances off completely (not leave them on stand-by) because otherwise it might cause a fire in the house, and waste energy. She has young children in her house. Her family just moved into a new house recently, I gave them my old computer, TV and VCR, some games all for free, and she doesn't want it ruined it's the first decent house she's ever lived in (apart from mine of course, before she moved out of our mum's house, where I still am !!
