        Estimated RRP (if it ever went into production) is $160.

        Think I'll pass - just stick the beans next to your mobile phone and they'll cook in next to no time.

          How about moving to somewhere warmer?
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            I have a mac, and its room-heating capabilites are about as good as the operating system.

            It's a home office, I have no boardroom. I could fit a fold-up coffee table in the corner?

              What next, how can I cook one chip in the oven without heating the whole oven.

              Jeez.
              There's something called common sense. You don't have to be an eco-warrior to avoid wastage. What are you, American?

                Re. heating one chip
                Radator thermostats would allow you to heat just one room.
                - OK very ineffecient and would probably mean a lot of plumbing.

                Re. moving somewhere warm
                How about moving the office to a naturally warmer spot in the house?
                I have a noticeable difference between the south- and north-facing sides of my house.

                  Put an advert in the local newsagents for a room to let very very cheaply. When the tramps turn up, show them in, hit them over the head and set fire to them. Burning tramps are great, all that meths and grease makes them really blaze.

                    No fireplace, it's a new build.

                      Do new houses these days not have a fireplace then?
