Surge protectors: I googled it and mostly got bad reviews. Do they |
| 9 |
_really_work? What would you recommend? It probably should be |
| 10 |
something amazon-purchasable! Availability in my country is probably |
| 11 |
limited (and overpriced to boot, I bet). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
UPS: never gave it serious thought, I had the impression there was too |
| 14 |
much unclear stuff: for example, is it noisy (does it need a fan)? If |
| 15 |
(when) some component needs replacement will I know it before |
| 16 |
disaster? And does the replacement require a "qualified technician"? ( |
| 17 |
Dale's description is not very reassuring!) |

Note that my lightning problem happened at night with both computer |
| 20 |
and monitor powered down (but still connected to a wall outlet through |
| 21 |
an interrupted extension; hence the "not-so-smart" self-qualifying...) |

Thanks for your suggestions |
