If you really think it is true, back it up with hard data, until then I'll have to respectfully disagree. You do not need a $600 surge protector to get 90% safety from normal spikes /surges/short brownouts... More like $100-$150, which generally will include enough of a battery backup to take care of the short brownouts. Even a $20 surge protector (el cheapo power strip) will take care of most things- the difference is that the $20 one will often only handle something fairly nasty once, and then burn out, even though it still passes current and the light is on. > Radar systems and computers are very different beasts.
