And do you have the same generator he does? Or are you familiar enough with the output of the generator he has to make the claim?
All generators are NOT created equal. Some produce MUCH cleaner output than others. Spikes and surges can destroy sensitive electronics. Square Wave-producing generators may power lights and freezers just fine, but they will not work well with computers. Unless you are sure what your generator produces (and the only way to really be sure is to hook it up to a scope and look at the resulting wave pattern, or find someone who has done that), you will be much safer getting some kind of a power conditioner. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just something with a voltage regulator in it to eliminate spikes and a filter to convert square waves to sine. Most decent UPSes will do it, or if you're handy with a soldering iron, there are schematics for appropriate circuits on the web.
