It seems to me that a first rate power center with hefty coils can attenuate the electrical surge. Proper grounding is essential. I believe there are reasonable testers that can tell you if an outlet is grounded. Back in Mac SE days I bought a 'MasterPiece Compact' power center that offered individually switched outlets with a master switch that worked very well. I still use it. It even had a reset button for the built-in circuit breaker. br -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
