    Thumbs down I think we must have had a power surge, the night before last

    Got up yesterday morning and found that the volume won't work on our big screen t.v. (was working the night before) and the monitor to my computer was burnt up (was working the night before as well). So I'm gonna call the power co. on Monday morning and complain. I know that something has happened, as I was in the bedroom yesterday evening and could tell the lights were dimming on and off for a while. Ggrrhhhh!!! They better get whatever it is fixed, I can't afford to replace all the electrical appliances in this house right now.
