Hi Folks, got a very simple question about powering on the computer.
Since a lot of us will plug their computer and monitor to the multiple
outlet surge suppressors, what should be the right way to turn the computer
on. Some just made use of the main switch on the suppressor, so that the
computer and monitor is always is the "on" position. Some told me that I
should always leave the suppressor "on", and switch the monitor first then,
power the computer on, upon finishing the job, switch the computer off first
then the monitor. Some even say leave the computer on, just turn on the monitor
when you need it.  It is getting confusing now, so which way is right about
prolonging my life of the computer and monitor?
You can either post it here or email me.
Thanks in advance.
