[QUOTE="dotdotdot, post: 1473038, member: 280973"] Kind of an odd ball question, not sure where to post this, but here I go. I'm on an OPE (Outdoor Power Equipement) forum. The topic of generators often comes up. They claim that computers need "clean" (something to do with "sine waves") power and that generators, the cheap big-box store bought ones, are not such a great idea for sensitive electronics such as computers. However, expensive "inverter" generators, such as Hondas are recommended. I hope this question makes sense. By the way, I'm talking about using a generator in an emergency situation, such as a power outage. Having gone through Sandy, I'm in the market for a generator. [/QUOTE]
