but you also have to factor in the risk of a power surge causing harm.
I've only lost 2 bits of kit in 30-odd years: a PVR and an ATX power
supply.

and what cost do you put on a human life?


That's been a routine job in cost-benefit appraisal for decades.Â* But

for a year of good quality life - especially when it's their life


It costs more than that to keep a prisoner in a cat B rated prison per year.
