I suspect this is his excuse for not trying something new. But I have no personal experience since I don't live there, other than I see nothing in your posts about surges and damages to your machines. So....is your computer pretty safe from surges there?

a_aris Δημ. September 19, 2004 Κοινοποίηση Δημ. September 19, 2004 Είναι γεγονός ότι η τάση που φτάνει στα σπίτια μας απο την ΔΕΗ δεν είναι και η πιο σταθερή του κόσμου αλλά να μήν τα παραλέμε. Αν ήταν τόσο τραγικά τα πράματα κανένα pc σε ελληνικό σπίτι δεν θα άντεχε πάνω απο 24 ώρες... Παράθεση Link to comment Share on other sites Περισσότερες Επιλογές Κοινής Χρήσης
eLeKtriK EyE Δημ. September 19, 2004 Κοινοποίηση Δημ. September 19, 2004 Pretty much safe, but it depends on where do you live. In Athens I 've never experienced unstable voltage, whereas in Chania this is typical. My computer has survived in both areas :) If you want to be safe you can always buy an UPS. P.S.: "Ακμές" is not a common term for voltage "surges". Systran sucks! "Αυξομειώσεις" is better :D Παράθεση Link to comment Share on other sites Περισσότερες Επιλογές Κοινής Χρήσης
kalotte Δημ. September 19, 2004 Author Κοινοποίηση Δημ. September 19, 2004 Hey Aris and electric eye, Thanks so much for your responses, they do make sense!! El. eye, I don't use a translator for my messages; just dig deep in my mind for words I have not ever used before in Greece and I only know them by their English names-please keep correcting me :) Athena Παράθεση Link to comment Share on other sites Περισσότερες Επιλογές Κοινής Χρήσης
ariadgr Δημ. September 20, 2004 Κοινοποίηση Δημ. September 20, 2004 The problem is not so serious. Of course he can use a PC with the greek power company. If he is so scared, he can buy a UPS device, but it is not neccesary. Παράθεση Link to comment Share on other sites Περισσότερες Επιλογές Κοινής Χρήσης
kalotte Δημ. September 20, 2004 Author Κοινοποίηση Δημ. September 20, 2004 Thank you ariadgr, I guess his not having a computer makes information about these things hard to come by, and your input will be very helpful to him.! Ya'll make a great forum-I'm glad I found it! :) Athena Παράθεση Link to comment Share on other sites Περισσότερες Επιλογές Κοινής Χρήσης
