Re: Apple IIgs Power Supply help

[Slick <PAYSlick_RCBD@hotmail.com>]

Does anybody think it would be a good idea to purchase a spare power
suppily? Twice, in it's nine year history, my GS has had it's power
suppily case blown out by lightning, in spite of it being connected to a
grounded surge protector. At the time, it cost $70 to get it fixed. This
hasn't happened in the last five years, because I've become paranoid. At
the first clap of thunder or flash of lightning, I unplug my computers'
power bar. I do the same thing when rain is in the forecast before going
to school or bed.
