Yeah, some people think that it is, but for the convienence of being 
able to turn on from across the room I think its well worth it.

I guess its just like some people think that its a waste to drive 
everywhere with the aircon on when it would be tollerable without it on, 
and that its a waste to throw out some food because its not as nice as 
it was new even tho its still edible - it comes down to a cost to 
convinence/enjoyment thing.

To me, the cost is so small that its not worth it.
