Almost all Belkin surge protectors (even the 12 dollar ones) have a warranty like that, in case your pimpin' new HDTV gets zapped. It's probably worth the 20 bucks to get that 7 series accounted for :) Your surge protector doesn’t have a warranty and a guarantee up to something like $50,000?

But I have learned the hard way, and I unplug everything whenever there is a storm in the area. Had a customer recently, lightning took out his DSL modem and his router. Did not hurt anything else.

Not a soul knows when or where it's going to strike.' This is simply not true. I know for a fact: "A bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04 PM, next Saturday night." Regarding your claim:

This is simply not true. I know for a fact:
