they failed to provide suppression, I assume the mag would have said so.


hillarious, PC magazine is your source for the lowdown on surge supression
devices?


It was, 20 years ago. I don't think you get the point, though.


So what is the point? John Dvorak wrote a story about surge supressors and
how they worked with his Cumulus 386 laptop and his CompuAdd 486sx tower?


My news reader sees a problem in these postings

Mark Waller wrote an article for Byte.
I have his book PC Power Protection from 1988.
Great reading. I should also have that mag article if
anybody is interested. I should look it up.

From worrying too much about protection, Mark is now a Family
Therapist.
