'  answer me this then
 
why isn't the whole house surge protected
or is the only thing you can do is use a surge protector
on every single outlet?
 
because no breakers were tripped
i guess 

 wrong direction of current for that
 
crappy thing is....my computer (brand spankin new)
WAS plugged into a surge protector...
