Does anyone know of a power strip that has separate power switches for each outlet? Doesn't absolutely have to have surge suppression, although that would be a plus. The ones I can find are either all on or all off. * **

I think I've mentioned it before, but you aught to read a book called The New New. Sorry, can't remember the author. But you get the idea that these collusion's by competitors you speak of were brought on by MS's actions themselves. The book mainly centers around Jim Clark and Netscape

Good God I too thought I would quickly google up something like my Memorex Power Center that I've used for ages, but I can't find anything like it anywhere. Twenty minutes of searching is beginning to lead me to believe these things went out with lighter LCD monitors, or Energy Star peripherals?
