I was amazed that anything made it though, after seeing sparks fly out of all of those wall sockets.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back.OzzyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370847672541662503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-1125633230862246542005-09-01T23:53:00.000-04:002005-09-01T23:53:00.000-04:00Ah, the days of power surges, power outages, power...Ah, the days of power surges, power outages, power trips.
