Belkin power adapter on sale at Target from Sunday

George posted a review on the Belkin 3-Outlet 918 Joule Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger a while back. At the time the price was $22 plus shipping. On Sunday, this will be available from Staples for $19.99, a little cheaper and shipping won’t need to be paid as most people will probably have a Staples store nearby.

.....I employed a new computer power accessory last weekend, due to tropical storm Fay! I had a ten-year-old APC UPS on my router and modem, and when the power went out, that old battery didn't last but maybe 15 minutes. Ooops. Maybe it's time for a replacement...

.....What to do, what to do? We had three full laptop batteries, but no internet connection. Alabama Power stayed out for nearly 24 hours. I got my internet fix with a tire pump. No kidding! Due to gas stations charging for air lately, I got my own pump:

.....The pump has its own battery, and a 12 volt DC outlet. I plugged that outlet into a 110 volt inverter, and then plugged my network stuff into the inverter. Powered up, and the DSL line was still working. That tire pump powered my network for 9 hours! Great way to survive boredom during power outtages!
