I started using another power cable and so far so good, but I would not be too happy too soon. It may sound more than half way off to you, but it is physically possible and it has been actually demonstrated that "they" have been hacking into computers through the power supply lines . . . What physical means do we have to avoid that? Would some sort of "denoising"/"gray noIsing" power surge protector help? lbrtchx
