You can state absolute facts and there will always be a >handful of bumbleheads that will argue with you. Its very entertaining. ...and there are always people that will state absolute B.S. and then insult people that do not agree. You did not test the 180W PSs to see if they could output 180W cleanly, because no power supply of any brand or quality can output its exact power rating. That would require 100% efficiency and 100% power stability. Thus, your absolute fact is not. I have found that this tends to be far more common among those who use AOL. Even the extremely expensive power supplies used in the upcoming Cray SV2 supercomputer which use MOSFETs for power switching have a peak efficiency of 80%. ( http://www.cray.com/products/systems/sv2/ ) You might want to contact Cray about your PSs that are 100% efficient. Many physicists and EEs would also find that quite the interesting news. Not that this is any particularly big deal. Another internet user is posting another 'fact' about something that they know very little about. I am not immune to doing this myself, but resorting to personal insults, especially in response to an honest question about information that you posted (which was false) is on par with the bahavior of the now (in)famous Bernard Schifman. ( http://petemoss.com/spamflames/ShifmanIsAMoronSpammer.html ) Not that you are likely to learn anything from this as you don't seem to care if you spew misinformation, but that is a decision you'll have to make.
