First, the easy one: The technical term for the "octopus" that Bill Sconce
was describing is "relocatable power tap" or "RPT". This just takes one plug
and turns it into multiple plugs. No protection of any kind is implied

Currently the BLU is looking for speakers for the July 20th and August 17th
meetings. We have a couple of proposals for half the time, so if anyone has
a shorter subject they would like to present, they could share the meeting
with David Kramer who will be talking about Jedit.

Okay, folks. We -had- had a speaker lined up for tomorrow, but he
slipped through the infamous cracks of schedule conflictdom. So, no go.
Therefore, I suggest we do the dinner thing at 6:00, a
Since surge protectors are usually to protect the device from spikes in the
electrical current, and since the UPS usually does this anyway, why use a
powerstrip that has a surge protector? Just use a non-protected one.

Interestingly, all the Leviton whole-house surge arrestors I can find
on their site are MOV-based. (I was considering one after you
mentioned it..seems like a good idea.) Do they have any that are not
MOV-based?

FWIW, I don't use MOV-based devices as any sort of surge-protector either.
I'm well aware of their limitations.
I've always had Leviton whole-house surge suppressors on my houses. They
install right at the electrical panel and have a far greater chance of being
effective than a power-strip solut

I don't have a link handy, but the further responses seem to be more
descriptive anyway. I would think still that the two small devices wouldn't
be a problem, since they'd be putting so little stress on the surge
protector's circuit, but I'm not as familiar with AC and power electronics to

It's considered bad practice to do that because surge protectors are bad at
evenly distributing power to devices when you mix devices with larger power
draws and smaller ones. Realistically, a modem and router aren't going to
cause any problems like that, so you should be fine.
