We lost power about 1/2 ago. I stumbled outside in the dark and powered up the generator, ran the various extension cords, cursing under my breath, and when I was finished, after 20 minutes of work, the power came back on. It is flickering off/on every couple of minutes so I do not think it will last too long. < p>
All of you who are not electrically challenged -- be thankful.
I've had surges, but I've not lost my computer. I'm very thankful for that.
