Torog, what's dhimmitude? I don't know that word.
Howdy birdgirl,

That's great news that y'all got one,not only do they protect you from surges and allow ya time to close out yer programs,but they also filter out electronic noise,which is harmful to motherboards and stuff like that.

Dhimmitude,is the arab word for slavery(subjugation),for those who refuse to convert to Islam,they have the option,if their lucky,to pay a tax,called the jizya,so that they won't be slaughtered and they will be suffered to live,but as social outcasts and up to slavery. You should look it up,on Google or Wikipedia,heck..maybe I should too,just to be sure of what it is that I'm saying.

Have a good one !
