I fully agree with you.
I know several cases when my colleagues have lost their computers and
other electronic equipments when the power was coming back up.
That's why I've always been trying, both at home and at work, to unplug
all somewhat valuable electric equipment from the outlets when the power
goes down.
Surge protectors are somewhat helpful as well.

After some years of investigating damage attributed to power anomalies
during power restoration, it is my opinion that here in the USA, it is a
good idea to leave the power to the computer (and other electric units)
disconnected/off until power is restored and stabilized. I use drop out
relays and/or ups systems with computers.

I've used this feature for many years with the computer, monitor and other
related devices all connected to one surge protector. With a flip of a single
switch you turn on all of them and have the computer booting up.

still turned off.
Since I didn't switch it on, what did?
