Both the PC and Monitor power cables were plugged directly in to the wall. This left the printer without power and the speakers reaching down the wall to share the outlet with the TV. I said, "Hey, you really would be better off installing a surge protector. It will free up some outlets and protect your computer equipment." That was the last thing I remember before the nightmare began!

So I made a little note to find some help.. or a picture .. or something.

The following picture is better than I expected to find. Plus, it's darn cute :)
