Well, the most obvious sign that there might be a problem on that circuit is multiple electronic devices dying. That's not a positive indication - it could just be rotten dumb luck - but it is odd. If there is dirty power on that line it could cause a problem. Or if there is any kind of grounding issue or intermitent short. There are some cheap testers ($20 or so) you can get at Home Depot which can show obvious things like reversed hot (where the two prong wires are reversed) or an open ground (where the ground isn't connected). I used a tester kit to check all the outlets in my house before buying it - and I found a number of bad outlets. -MZ -- <URL:mailto:megazoneatmegazone.org> Gweep, Discordian, Author, Engineer, me.
