Every time my refeigerator turns on and off I am afraid I am frying my
CPU or putting potholes in my hard disk.  Are these fears founded at all ?
Should I buy a surge protector ?  Does anyone have experience with these
things ?  There appear to be several types, including a strip like thing 
for about $20, which I could spring for if it does something useful.
