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.
