Cheers Billy 8-{) :D [b][pre]If you plan on sending cash I'd just as soon give you my Swiss Bank Account number where I hide all my graft and gratuity payments. :O |

| 142523 | 2003-05-09 06:50:00 | In places where power cuts occur often, these spikes are also common place. Hence, there is a market for "power-on delay" devices that you plug your appliance (say, the fridge) into. The device withholds applying power to the appliance for a set period on the assumption that the spikes would have dissipated by then. A brand new telly I've given to my folks was actually totalled by a surge after a powercut (back cabinet melted in half) and nearly caused a fire in their bedroom... |

| 142524 | 2003-05-09 09:47:00 | Susan B, re your elec-trickery comment. As an ex electrician I can state positively that it is also very painful. Electricity has very sharp teeth. The worst shock you can get is "hand to hand" across your chest, can stop your heart. Scary stuff. Poppa John | Maryann (2010) | ||
