Hi, Joe,


I've been
gradually 'acclimating' myself to Windows 8. Following my initial panic emails
to you during the first week with my new laptop, I'm navigating the system
reasonably well.





I look
forward to reading your latest tips (am actually printing out the hard copies
as I'm typing!). Sharing your knowledge is a gracious and valuable gift to
those of us stumbling about the computer world! Thank you!

From
WorldStart: 
How does a surge protector work?





Answer: A surge is a
term for when the voltage exceeds the standard 120V for longer than 2
nanoseconds. Common causes of surges are lightning strikes, cycling of high
energy demand appliances/systems and power delivery system failures.





A surge
protector has a circuit design which works normally at regular household
voltages but once a surge happens will divert the extra power to the ground
plug in the power outlet.
