174358 2003-09-10 09:38:00 thanxs Goddie,
ESP huh?
i knew if i hung around long enough all the guys (um gentlemen) would come to my aid. :D

and just for instance a car hitting a pole????? you remembered that from somewhere ?? lol
yes and know i have no idea whether i should or shouldnt, friend of ours says it wouldnt matter if a big surge like the car hitting pole did damage it would wipe out all components in between as well as the puter like it did last time...
so maybe its nerves or one thing less to worry about if i protect it some more and now my baby is no longer in warranty anymore must endeavor to look after her a little better.

thanxs Greg S :D we pf1 people make a good team.... :D :D

and i will keep this all in mind if and when i get the chance to shop tomorow.

even now knowing all this still makes things a little clearer and easier on the mind even if i dont do anything about it, or just part of the original deal i had thought of.

thanxs all

If you?ve got a UPS or SPS, don?t plug it into some other power filter and plug that into the wall........

just to clarify one thing, filter and spike protectors are two different things. generally theres no point to having a filter in front of a ups due to the ups already has a decent one.

174361 2003-09-10 10:10:00 sometimes when it gets too thundry and it seems pretty close
and if i'm not on the comp i just turn it off and unplug power and phoneline

just on the safe side . . .



all i use is a surge protector . . .

174362 2003-09-10 10:14:00 visulising well here goddie as a friend says imagine a power surge and blow the components off the wall.... desk or where ever they may be with smoke arising from their middle components....

i can visualise that one really well
