You would have been better off spending all that money on a line conditioner/surge protector. I have a line conditioner at my place and it occasionally indicates a spike or drop in the line voltage and corrects for it. Haven't lost a power supply yet that couldn't be anything other than the result of basic age. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
