-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Start Up problems

Lil,

No darn it, I dont.  I wonder what the software was for then that came with 
it.  Well, chalk it up to learning.  I think I paid about 70 bucks for that 
thing way back when.

Which brings me to another question, how do you know if a surge protector is 
still good, I fuond a few old ones around, but I do not  know how great they 
are at protecting as they do look like the cheaper variety.
