Designed for use with PCs and compatibles using PS/2 (i.e., mini-DIN) keyboard connectors, the Maximiser ($34.95) shuts off power to a computer monitor 15 minutes after the last keystroke. The unit returns power to the monitor when the keyboard is touched. From Panamax (San Rafael, CA), the Maximiser has one AC receptacle and plugs into a regular wall socket.
