Yeah, most surge suppressor manufacturers offer this "warranty", but lots of luck collecting on it! :) They rarely pay out on such claims (the industry in general, not just Belkin) as they have LOTS of wiggle room and many outs in the fine print. Typical example of the hoops you must jump through to even get them to look at a claim: usually you must place a separate claim for each device that was *zapped* while connected to the surge suppressor. Five devices = five separate claims. Try reading the claims form, claim submission rules and all it's fine print. :) Unrelated to SD's or even computers: Here is a funny but typical "lifetime product warranty" for a consumer product. I purchased those Triple Edge windshield wipers for my car a loooong time ago, they do work quite well. They came with a "lifetime Warranty" as follows: "Just send us your used Triple Edge wipers plus $19.95 S&H" Well, there are two catches to this "Lifetime Warranty" 1. What if it rains or snows while your car wipers are being exchanged via mail.........6 to 8 weeks processing time? 2. Guess how much these wipers sell for new in the stores......yup....$19.95 -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48787 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
