  I use Atos Theatre Organ Radio to chase people out of my house when I'm fed up.
Try it. It really works.

I think you could call it camp?

 
If you want something that you can control yourself that will annoy the heck out of people and drive them away, try this:

I could not find the quote you gave in the product description or in the user manual.
 
I heard about those from Nick @ Schiit as  a personal (not company) recommendation. But both of us live in coastal CA, where thunderstorms are really rare.

 
Thanks for the info.  That is the exact device that I am interested in purchasing.  Appreciate the help -

I like the looks/design of the Tripp Lite Isobar, but the reviews say it doesn't totally protect the gear, meaning that power can still flow downstream after the surge protection does its thing.  One reviewer said they had a major hit and lost components, tried to file an insurance claim (some Isobars come w/ insurance) but it was denied.  Here is a quote from the Tripp Lite owner's manual:
 
"All models feature an internal protection that will disconnect the surge-protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain power to the load— now unprotected."
 
Does this seem like a concern?

This is where I first heard about it:  http://www.computerworld.com/article/2472189/network-hardware-solutions/a-surge-protector-that-doesn-t-protect.html

More than reasonable!

  That is my favorite Queen album. I bought in 1976. I, unfortunately, gave it away many years ago......

She bought it at record store day today along with Beatles and Alice Cooper. She was less enthusiastic about my Napalm Death and my wife's Fugazi.

Well I think Alice Cooper is pretty heavy for a child.
When I was that old I listened to the very gentle Ian Dury

She seems to be the only one in the family with taste!

If you follow the link from that 2012 story to the Tripp Lite site, you get to a manual that does not have the quoted text. If you read the manual, and the Web page about Tripp Lite Isobar Ultra does not say anything like that either. Instead, you have the following
 

1. Safe Thermal Fusing: Prevents unsafe conditions during extreme extended over-voltages and catastrophic occurrences

 
Looks like something may have changed in the last 5 years. 
 
One problem with the Web is that outdated information persists and we rarely follow links to verify that quotes are still accurate.

I bought my first album/CD in 1995 with my birthday money when I was 7 years old, it was The Who, Quadrophenia. My parents had a copy of course, that's how I knew it, but I wanted my own copy anyway. It's still my favorite album to this day. I just bought the 2011 remastered version last year and oh my is it an excellent sounding album!

OK, I'll play; 1970 or 1971 for me, 10 or 11 years old.  Chicago II.  This was also my first concert, the same year.

I bought my first vinyl LP, The Kingston Trio at the Hungry i, in 1958.  The first concert I can remember was Madame Butterfly at the San Francisco Opera in 1952.
