Dear fellow computer users,

	In my experiance I have had several problems with my computer. Some of
them were because of me turning my computer and Periphs. off with a surge
protector. The techniction told me that the proper way to shut down a
computer is to shut off all Periphs. and the monitor first then shut the
computer off. This should all be done with each units power switch and the
surge protector left ON! Also make sure to shutdown prperly from windows
first.

Gee, I can't argue from any scientific basis, but I have been doing just the
opposite for years, and I am on my fourth computer - never had a problem that I
could trace to the use of my surge proctector to turn the entire batch of attached
units off and on.
