What is joule

Some surge protector manufacture, will give some type of insurance for using their protectors.

When we get storms here I use to just unplug the phone line and also the power cord. I don't use dialup at all anymore so I don't have to do phone cord. Also it's a good idea to just unplug everything completely including any broadband modems, routers, and possibly any audio systems that plug into your sound card although I don't know about the latter.

I know i had to ask the same question & some GOOD FRIENDS here & other sites help me figure "some of it out",
i was thinking that a joule was the "thing a ma jug" that connects to the "whats ya ma calls its" to make the "do dobber" go king klang,bing bong

but seriously
Vamp,TwistedLefty,novaflare, THANK YOU for the help & information[/b]
& i agree when someone is asking a questions or anytime personal attack aren't warranted.

a person ask questions to LEARN,& to learn one must ask questions. jazzy

p.S.novaflare,if a direct hit,won't have to worry about the computer,I'll be dead from the explosion of the oxygen tank bottles,
