[NSRCA-discussion] Curmudgeon's Rant

[Mike Wizynajtys]

FWIW, I smoked the very first one I had on the 4th or 5th use. I didn't 
over load it. Something was wrong, but they promptly replaced it with a 
new one that's been a trooper ever since.
With the cigarette lighter type jack on the front it makes a nice device 
for powering all sorts of 12V devices. I like the ability to adjust the 
voltage and the meters too. It's a great device for $200.
