My husband and daughter are both prone to leaving their chargers plugged in after they remove the cell phones. And the "energy nazi" at school always nags us for leaving computers on over the weekend. I do my best to turn off my pod every Friday, but if the kids are wild...my priorities are there.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755626462989479771.post-55145934742915655112008-01-23T16:59:00.000-05:002008-01-23T16:59:00.000-05:00That's a great question, and I'm glad that you ask...That's a great question, and I'm glad that you asked. <BR/><BR/>It seems that the way to protect your electronics in lightning-prone areas like Florida is to use power strips that are also surge protectors--and to use one plugged into another.

I have thought about doing this, but I live in Florida where lightning is plentiful and I don't want to lose my electronics if I don't have to.
