MOTM

Well now, this is getting personal.  I just yanked TWO surge 
protectors... one being an outlet variety one, and the "You're 
protected" light was off.  Hmm.  The next one is a power strip that 
seems to be vaguely surge protectorish, as it has a "Clamping 
Voltage" listed on the back.  Inside it's a switch, a breaker, a 
somewhat larege blue (ceramic i guess, not a tin-can electrolyitic 
one) capaictor, and a circuit breaker.  Now... the real question is 
this...  Is my *extremely* ghetto Gemini PL-9 "Pwer Supply and Light 
Module" on top of my rack a surge protector.  This is about as ghetto 
as they come... all I recall for parts inside were the inline fuse, 
the lighted switch, and a single capacitor... plus the goo for the 
nifty pull-out lights.  I can send a shot of the guts of one of the 
strips I pulled... but I suspect this gemini unit is not a surge 
protector... dunno.

Paul, if this came from someone else I would have worried in the 
morning, but MAN!
