Damn, missed the cutoff by a week . That's what I get for dawdling.

The EO box looks great; looking forward to figuring out what to stash in it.

Get a battery backup and have your stuff go through that, even if you break the rules and use power strip coming out of it, they act as backup in case of power outage, and they act as power surge in case of power spikes, and they act as power conditioners in case of brown outs.

I know RPG publishing doesn't pay a lot, but it just takes one fried computer for it to be worthwhile.

Get a decent one, as well. APC, something like 1000VA or more.

I agree, a good battery backup unit is worth the investment. And of course, don't forget that it's possible to simply write the names/addresses on the labels manually .

Some of my fondest IT memories are of people asking frantically what to do when the systems were down, especially the POS (point-of-sale) people. I would usually be prepared for the panic, and bring with me pencils and pads of paper and hand them out. Not everyone found it amusing (or even useful).

Bummer, sorry to hear!

If you have a reputable companies power surge protector on there and it still got through, most of them have a guarantee backing them. I'm sure it's a ton of fine print and possible hassle, but might pay for a new label maker if you're up for some hassle.

I keep getting more excited to see these come to my doorstep!

Just received the mailing notification, thanks! Looking forward to it.

New label printer and big, honkin' battery backup and surge protector procured.

Didn't get a mailing notification if they did
