What is next?
Yesterday our PS3 gave up the ghost... and just now as we were watching the Broncos/Chargers game our Sony 55" screen tv popped and blew out. Niiiice.
Waiting for the 3rd electronic device to die... it had better NOT be my laptop.

No TV? You have a man there to keep you occupied!  I am sure you two can think of something to keep out the boredom.

I feel your pain. Sometimes I think we have the golden touch for breaking things. We have a big screen TV as well...very big. In it's first 3 years, it has gone through 3 projector lamps and a circuit board. And we honestly don't use it that much, don't have the time. We bought a new Toro zero turn lawnmower from Home Depot in July. It has been to the shop for 3 separate repairs...all under warranty thankfully, but a pain in the butt.

We lost a few electronics a couple of years ago. I did some research and learned you can have power surges not only through your elctric source but also through your coax cable. Now everything runs through a surge protector.

Just this past summer got a Phillips 47` HD 1080p fpr 799 & Bought a Macbook Pro thats lightning fast, with a pretty state of the art Power surge, took all the necessary precautions ! but like anything such as that, they are machines built by humans ! But for my benefit I have over 500 books for my relief

Chris watched it on the TV in the bedroom... he came out and gave me updates as needed. I listened... on the surround sound as I played on here.

Chris wants to just fix this one right now. a 60" would not fit in our entertainment space.
Oh, Chris just got pulled over for a crack that has been in his windshield for TEN YEARS... LOL...
I refuse to say 'what next'...

The best electronics investment
I think you can get a whole house surge suppressor, installed, for under $200. We live on the O'Hare power grid, and although I don't believe it has line conditioning (no protection against undervoltages), the whole house is protected against electrical damage.
