Hahaha….can’t help it. Your observations when you do not have a PC is so funny.

eh..The Men In Blue personally told me the power surge thingies don’t work leh. U’d have to switch off everything and take out the plugs out of the sockets. Everytime there is thunder/lightning.

ooops… sorry to hear that. Happened to me twice and experience heavy damages both times ($$$$). Not sure bout surge protector’s effectiveness but being “Malaysian” got to put anyway. Dilligently un-plug everytime now.
