With storm season in our midst, we took the opportunity in ths show to address some common surge protector myths. In this episode we answer questions like:

• Do surge protectors heal?
• How can you tell if your surge protector is damaged?
• How often should you replace surge protector?
• Will a surge protector work on a non-grounded outlet?
• Are battery backups better than regular surge strips?

We also launched a one-week special on Schrock’s audible alert surge protectors. These units audibly beep when they are work out so you know they need to be replaced. Normall these units are $49.99, but this week only they are on sale for only $29.99.

The sale ends on May 16th at 8:00 PM, or while supplies last.

This was a recorded show, so there were no live callers.

• Exactly how Schrock migrates your data to your new PC

We also talked about why now is the best time to move to Windows Vista to secure deep discount pricing on Windows 7.
