Just curious on this one...
I once had a pc that got zapped because it was plugged into an outlet that had a wall switch... and someone switched the wall switch off while the pc was on... good by pc. Actually it was the hard drive that bit the dust, apparently from the way the power got cut to it.
YET I was working in an arcade this past week where ALL the cabs are powered on by a wall switch... including the PC HDD based ones.
So... how come those PC cabs don't get fried by the hard power-ons and offs... or do thay? The cabs in there some date back to the 90's, so clearly they haven't gotten fried in 20 years of wall switch action.
Just curious.
