I read on another board that it was bad to leave a laptop on 24/7 Is that so? If it is I guess that is why my laptop is having problems! :-)~MIKE~(-: --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to chan

On the multimeter thing - if you happen to get a coupon for a free multimeter from Harbor Freight that's your cheapest possible meter, and according to a friend its not a bad meter. If you want to buy it I think its under $10, but I'm not sure. In addition, Lowes, Home Depot, Radio Shack, Fry's,
