A friend of my mother, who lives in Hawaii, has asked me to find 
them a good, inexpensive surge supressor.  Everything in Hawaii is 
extremely expensive, so they want me to buy it here in Atlanta and 
ship it to them.  No problem -- except there are so many brands and 
types to choose from!  They have a small system -- a PC XT 
compatible, monitor, dot matrix printer, and modem -- so nothing 
real fancy is required, but they do have lighting pretty frequently.

Does anyone have a particular brand of surge supressor that they 
swear by and would recommend I look at?  How about one you swear AT 
and wouldn't recommend to your worst enemy, that I should avoid? 
Any thoughts you might have on the subject would be most
appreciated.  Please REPLY to me via email; I'll summarize and post
the result to the group if requested.  Thanks very much!
