It's also a good idea to use the phone link in your surge protector. I got a DSL modem and wireless router zapped, apparently that way.

I work from home quite a bit... cannot afford to have my laptop zapped. Spent about $400 or so to have a surge protector installed by a qualified electrical contractor at the fuse box area. Protects the whole house, not like a "local" surge protector which protects just the equipment plugged into it. Oh, BTW, my understanding is those "surge protector strips" are essentially useless as a surge protector.

Why I use large UPS systems with dual batteries for all my really expensive electronics.
