You know... this is a VERY good point! So many companies skimp / cut costs on their power supplies - and that makes them vulnerable to various spikes and surges. Surge protectors, even the $5 power-strip ones, are much much much better than nothing. If you own your cable modem (instead of renting), I would strongly recommend one of the surge protectors that you connect the coax through! - Dan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
