Maybe, but not as good as it used to be. Brownouts are far too commonplace nowadays. After moving house a few years ago, less than a mile, I experienced random hardware failures; hard disks, motherboard, even two 22" monitors (fortunately still in warranty). I suspected bad power and, touch wood, everything has been reliable since fitting a UPS. I now have to create my own failures in software :) -- Neil Bothwick Windows Multitasking - screwing up several things at once
