PDF and a JPEG image of my home power network - two up-step inverters & a transient power regulator with most household items on the same circuit

I am currently working on a detailed publication in relation to a major company re branding devices based on the type of customer with differences in price up to 350%.  My research is almost complete, it has been verified, however I need another source of verification before I feel comfortable posting my content (hence the lack of any Blog posts).

In the mean time, here is a PDF and JPEG image in relation to my post: "jpg image of my power network - 2 up-step inverters and a transient voltage regulator - all devices on one outlet, most household items on the same circuit...".

The original description for this crazy segmented power network can be read by the above link, and by clicking on more and permalink links at the bottom of this post..  Chime in on this if you would like.  I try not to tell many that come to my house that I do this because of its hard to believe personal safety issues they may have.

If you have similar network, or have any suggestions or ideas for better power utilization, let me know..  Enjoy my crazy and lazy PDF (power network.pdf), which is of much higher quality, and the JPG sketch you may click on above for the diagram...

to note: several more devices have been added since the related post...

My Samsung U3 - though not the U2 in my wish list for the past several months, I am happy with my purchase decision.

It's not the Samsung YP-U2 - instead I purchased the Samsung YP-U3.  I know, the U2 has been listed in my wish list area for almost a year,http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-players/samsung-u3-2gb-black/4505-6490_7-32569165.html but I found this model to meet all my needs.

Best Buy had them on sale for a little under $50 bones, with the exception of the black YP-U3 which was $10 more than the green that I decided on.

I used to represent a technology company in which I would work in the store, so when I had seen the good old manager walk by I couldn't resist saying "what the hell is this, $10 bucks - out of your mind?".  In any case, I was not willing to pay for a color, as I have posted in the past that features and options were specific making a purchase decision for any mp3 player.

My player has 2 GB of storage, a FM receiver, plays MP3's, OGG Vorbis, WMA DRM 10, and a couple other formats such as WAV that I will not be taking advantage of.  Battery life is between 11 and 13 hours, which is re-charged by a snap out USB connector.  In addition, it offers 128 bit mp3 voice recording.

So far I couldn't be happier, although the U2 would have been nice - after looking at my needs however, this Samsung model suits my, on the road, musical personality the best without breaking the bank.
