Whole-House Surge Protection

It's important to protect all your electronic devices, not just computers, from surges. Printers, televisions, appliances and computer peripherals all require protection. However, it can be inconvenient to use individual surge protectors on all devices that need protection. One solution is to install a whole-house surge protector as shown in this photo. The device is installed by an electrician and is attached to your circuit breaker panel. Whole-house surge protectors function like other surge protection devices, but they protect all electrical devices in the house at once. The typical cost of $200 to $300 (installed) is generally less than buying individual surge protectors for every electrical device in your home.

Discussion Question #1

I feel that there is too much information out there that is not correct and can be very confusing, especially if you do not have any idea about the topic in the first place. Don't get me wrong I am thankful for the helpful information that people do post that is accurate, some of this information has saved me money on do-it-yourself tasks. Some people will post just anything but I guess you can't monitor what people put on the Internet based on the honesty policy of say being a professional and certified A/C tech. As for now I will wade through the endless information on the net when I need to find out information. (This is much better than pulling the Encyclopedia Britannica off the shelf)

Job Market or Masters Program?

It seems that more and more graduates are applying to graduate school instead of braving the job market. I think alot of people are waiting out the recession by staying in school and furthering their education. Hey more education never hurt anyone. However, there are many students such as myself that are not getting any younger if ya know what I mean and are either not working currently or working and was hoping to land a better job when we finally finished our bachelors degree. Guess we are going to have to hope for the best. Personally I am considering nursing school after I finish my degree.

It Seems That Healthcare Careers Are Still Number 1

Even in the slim job market we still have today, it seems that healthcare jobs are still hiring, especially in the nursing field. Check out this site: www.usnews.com>money>careers>The 50 Best Careers of 2010.

Microsoft Office 2007 for Students_Cheap!

Microsoft is running an offer especially for college students called The Ultimate Steal. For a limited time, students can obtain a copy of Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Edition for only $59.95. To qualify for this offer, you must be enrolled at a US educational institution and have a valid e-mail address that ends in the edu domain. Considering this package is available at retail for around $500, this is a fantastic deal for students. So check it out and save some $$$ today!

Even though you can download the software from the Web site, you should also consider purchasing (for and additional fee) the software on DVD. This will make reinstalling the software much easier in the future in case you have a problem (such as your hard drive fails).
