Yesterday afternoon I was fiddling away quite happily on the machine, but all the time aware of a fairly hefty thunderstorm rumbling away about twelve miles away.
I was thinking that if it came my way, I would shut down the PC just in case.
This got me thinking about my surge protector, (which is a combined protector/ups unit) and of something that a techie told me some time ago,...............that a surge protector, having once protected you from a surge becomes by virtue of that non-effective and should be replaced.
One surge............change unit.
Is that correct, or was he just trying to sell me something.
Grateful for any advice and comments.
