What about surge protection?  My understanding is that the filter in the diagram only handles interference, but not large spikes.  Is that right?  I guess you could always put a surge protector between your home power and this circuit.

I believe that's what the fuse is for.  You get a surge, fuse blows, not the computer.

Makes sense, as long as the fuse is small enough.

Wow...can't believe I did that a year ago.  Seems like yesterday.
