[AccessD] scheduling

...the better solution is to install real electrical surge protectors at
your electrical panels rather than the toy suppressors we all have for our
computers and phones ...most of those sold at computer/office outlets can't
handle more than a short, mild surge ...for areas like south Florida where
we get frequent lightning storms you need much more ...the ones we have in
our main panel and phone distribution block cost $300+ but handle over 26MVA
surges ...anything but a direct hit ...before we installed them we had
constant hits on our computers despite each having their own suppressors
...after installation, I've been able to work through the worst storms ...as
long as power stays on, I can without worrying ...HTH :)

...of course if I needed a handy excuse to take off this time of year
anyway, yours would work :))))
