john you should get a good powersurge plug...
I have one that protects from surges and also has a backup battery (about 5 mins) which gives me time to safely shut everything down if there is a powercut. _________________ Dogs are the leaders of the planet.
If you saw two living creatures, one of them does a poo and the other carries it for him, who would YOU think was in charge?
