Well. My setup is a 6-socket power strip daisy-chained from another six-socket power strip. Yeah.... only one socket in the room and all this junk. Apparently, both have surge protection on them. Just don't tell any fire inspectors.....
In other news, my laptop came back from being repaired last Friday. Then went ahead and put on about 10,000 load/unload cycles on the HDD a day for the last 4-5 days or so. No really. It seems someone at Western Digital had set the idle timer to 3 seconds instead of 300.... so it was constantly parking and unparking its head. Tick-toc....
Fixed that myself with a WD firmware tool running from.... of all things..... DOS.
All is well.
