I learned way back in the 1980's how frigal computer systems were. That was when the home computers were using casset tapes and 5 inch disks to store the data. I usually had around 3 copies of anything I though was important and one extra copy of items I did not think was very important or was easy to replace.
The electric supply is very reliable here in California. But the politicians are working diligently to make it less so.

Nice Mine was an ebay module with an OVC3860 audio processor, As we had thunderstorms every day and night (and still) needed some wireless for my headplugs so I do not hang on the wires if lightning hits. Added small 300 mAh lipo.. USB jack for charging, connectors, switch..
Had to look up Tachion laminate, 100G ??? that is a whole lot!

Don't worry, we will buy back the $70 oil at $100. Sell Low Buy High.
I paid $5.03 a gallon for premium gas on Monday. Eventually people will start to notice things like that.
