Surge protectors: I googled it and mostly got bad reviews. Do they
_really_work? What would you recommend? It probably should be
something amazon-purchasable! Availability in my country is probably
limited (and overpriced to boot, I bet).
UPS: never gave it serious thought, I had the impression there was too
much unclear stuff: for example, is it noisy (does it need a fan)? If
(when) some component needs replacement will I know it before
disaster? And does the replacement require a "qualified technician"? (
Dale's description is not very reassuring!)
Note that my lightning problem happened at night with both computer
and monitor powered down (but still connected to a wall outlet through
an interrupted extension; hence the "not-so-smart" self-qualifying...)
Thanks for your suggestions
Jorge
