I am still dealing with this surge surpressor issue. Every now and then we'd get brown outs (around 1700hrs) and my hard disc showed signs of death. Anyway, after NeXT immediately replaced my drive (Thanks) the hunt for a suppressor was on. I soon learned that there were things called line conditioners ( to filter out noise) and line regulators. After calling NeXT I was told that the power supply has a fuse in it so if the machine gets overloaded the fuse will blow. Unfortunately, the fuse can't be changed (so I'm told). I concluded that since I would have to buy another power supply anyway it might be better for me to invest in a line regulator. Is this true? maurices
