    A lot of power strips have overload trip mechanisms on them, they could easily be mistaken for surge protectors but they offer no protection against surges.
    People shouldn't forget other things in their house, I have a TV that's worth 4 computers in the $ department.

      And you ask how things got hostile ? ?
      They aren't hostile at all...i don't personally know anyone who would relate surge protectors with going to h**l.

      Just an observation.

      Just because you CHOOSE to take something in a negative way (as you always do), doesn't really mean it is  ;)

      Surge Protectors are directly relateable to going to coffesion at Church.
      Power Spikes are directly relateable to *censored*.

        Jess, your previous post is borderline. Watch it. In fact, how about we drop the religious tangent altogether. This thread is about Surge Protectors, which are a valuable asset for computer protection.

        (I'd buy them on the sole grounds that they give me 7 outlets, which I need)
