My HT equipment got zapped!

[Swish]

Because #1, I grew up right across the river from you...
#2, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Eagles fan just like you...
Which means #3, you should be sympathetic to my cause because I'm and Eagles fan living in the middle of Dallas Convicts land.

Well, my 'Why do you care' was directed at PS, not you, but I wasn't busting his chops, just wondering why he would care that I did. Heck, I've posted about cars, cigars, beer (lots of times), vacations, my new granddaughter ('Princess Nora')...you name it, and all on this site which I've been visiting for at least 8 or 9 years, perhaps longer if I dig back a bit.

You have my sympathy living in the dreaded Cowboy country, but wasn't it fun watch them get crushed with McNabb at QB in Philly, and then totally hammered with Garcia at QB in Dallas? That was oh, so satisfying.

Thanks for the advice on the surge protector, but Monster is sending me a new one to replace the one I had for 8 years without any problems. We even created a separate circuit for my HT equipment, so I'm sort of surprised by this. I guess I'll have to pull the plug whenever storms are approaching.

was merely a observation since you wanted people to reply to what you had said, I figured you might have better luck in another forum category.

Bad deal, GSwishdaddy, but I'm glad you were prepared to go the distance with these characters. I'm never surprised to hear that some lackey's proclamations hit a brick wall when his manager, who probably has neither the time or desire to deal with it, is invited into the fray. It's gotta suck to be a multinational corporation and have to stand behind your product.

One particularly bad night in college I did one of those heinously retarded guitar flips with an American made, custom painted Kramer and simultaneously the top straplock worked itself free. It shot about seven feet in a flight pattern perfectly prependicular to the floor and came to rest in the sizzling and sparking picture tube of a 36 inch Sony CRT. I bring this up because there was a lot of tequila and agave worms involved and, at the time, I considered it a natural disaster.

I hope you're up and running soon.

Peace

I spent Christmas with my family up in Cherry Hill last winter, and the highlight of the day (next to all the food) was the Eagles Cowboys game. Perfect ending to a perfect day. How's Donovan been doing in the off-season. Is he healthy? The poor guy sure has been beatup a lot in his career.

When I bought my power strip another requirement was that it had to have an 8' power cord, because I wanted to have instant access so I could pull the plug in case of emergency. It required moving the VCR over so I could get the strip closer to the end of the entertainment center and then plug it in around the corner in the dining room. In the past I'd just plug it in wherever the closest outlet was (generally behind the entertainmet center) since the cords on most of the strips were usually short. Granted, I can't beat a lightning strike to the outlet, but it just gives me a little better sense of security.

Sorry to hear about you loss, Swish.

Too bad they won't replace the unit -- that's what a company like Monster should be doing.

Glad to hear the Rotel is OK. We have several Rotties and absolutely love them.

Keep posting on RR, man. In fact, I've got a PC question for RR.

I'll post now,

Bill
