Interestingly enough it was on one. It was hooked to one of those surge control power centers, a belkin..... and the plug still reads that it is getting power. The computer is not. So figure that one out. Either way I like the control center because I can turn my components on and off from there, so nothing is all turned on at one, but I will be going out and getting a very high rated surge protector like DH just got for the tv and steroe system and will plug in my control center into that. That should still protect it in that manner even though the printer, monitor, computer are not directly in that surge protectors plugs right? As long as it's hooked into one should work? That is what DH thinks.
This was a very strong surge whatever we had, we never had anything like that before, first time you heard things pop in the house and did out neighbors hear it. First in 25 years. Hope it never happens again but yes I am going to get it on a surge protector.
Oh and some may call me foolish but I did just order my system and I did get it with VISTA. If I can't use bookdesigner, oh well, I always put my books right into the connect software before bookdesigner was around and it worked okay for me. Not fanatical too much just as long as I can read it.
So will see what happens. Of course I will give it a shot and have read some of install in a directory other than under programs and such.... administer rights and so forth so we shall just see. I will need to get used to the system before I attempt too many installs right away anyways.
