Ray O, that's interesting. It could be that. The power stays on for a lot
longer than 30 seconds, but I'm not sure if it's more than 2 hrs or not.
I'll have to experiment to see if it is a consistant amount of time, or not.
Otherwise, I think it has to do with what Mike Hunter said, that it is based
on a power draw.
