Hi Folks,
Well, only sort-of off-topic, since here in Anglia we know about power surges and discuss them. We've had kit damaged, etc.
But Yarmouth, I think, holds the record.
According to yesterday's Eastern Daily Press
Yarmouth have spent £900,000 on three big screens around the town "with the aim of promoting events and attractions in the resort."
One of them (£200,000) in the Market Place has been out of action for 6 months having been damaged by a power surge. Efforts to repair it, "including nine power supply units costing £435 each", have not availed.
No doubt, whoever supplied and installed it wasn't properly aware of the problem.
Perhaps they should read this list.
(But then, they probably don't use Linux anyway).
Best wishes to all, Ted.
