There is a difference between a power bar and a surge protector . . .
And thank you to the OP for this thread . . . I been lazy the last couple years and haven't bought additional surge protectors for all our computers at our house . . I will go to the shops this weekend to get some more . .

if you are paranoid like you should be, buy a surge protector with a battery inside it. i have one from belkin, that i plug the phone line into (protect router) as well as the laptop power cord.
i used to live in a very rural place, and the power surges were a daily occurence, with regular outages, so many in fact that i used a generator and connected the power surge protector into that, and i knew for certain it was a regular level of power.
