The difference between Power Strips and Surge Protectors

So, maybe I am having a blonde moment, maybe I am not as technologically smart as I would like to think...but I did NOT know there is a difference between power strips and surge protectors. I bet you are wondering "how did you come to this discovery??"

Well, I was watching TV during a thunderstorm Saturday night. And yes, there is no build to this story, my TV blew out. My TV I bough THREE...count them 1, 2, 3 years ago is now dead. And in case you haven't been TV shopping in a while....you have to drop about a grand to get something decent.

SOoooooo, Tivo will have to wait...Private Practice will have to wait....BIGGEST LOSER and American Idol will have to wait...till I can find a stinkin' TV.

  1. I don't even know what a surge protector is, so don't feel bad-- at least you know to compare it to a power strip. Holy cow, so you have to buy a brand new tv completely? Would it be cheaper to just have it repaired?

  2. Yes, it would be cheaper.....but it would probably cost as much as my tv cost originally!
