One more thought, having glimpsed photo 1 at the link above again -- get a power strip with a metal case. Hopefully nothing in the rest of the article contradicts this advice, but it sure seems like a little more insurance to notice it's getting hot before igniting the case, if that's the failure mode. :) NealS _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
