Hi Mark,

That sounds good.. I would think that systems wouldn't use that much power but
electronics in that sense isn't my thing. If it were me, I'd say screw the
refridgerator, gimme the systems. We can always eat out. Matter of fact I
might mention that to Ron.
haha.. I just did mention it to Ron and he reminded me that the outlet that my
system is plugged into IS on the circuit the generator controls.. so cool.

Ah.. no fish here.. so that's something.. losing the freezer stuff could be a
pia depending on how long the juice was out though :)

Right.. same here.

Hey, that's good to know.

haha.. nah, you always talk about interesting things :)
