I have a B.S. in electrical engineering, going back for my M.S. in it.

Both degrees are out there, and you can debate all day on which is better.

Electronics engineering is more of hands on, and a lot less theory based.
Electrical engineering is a small part hands on, mostly theory and math.

It also depends on what you say is a "top American university." Different universities offer different things.

you can order more than one i just did, just go through the order process twice and the second one will be discounted.

I got to use my $3.33 coupon on both orders and got 2 for under $5, funny thing is i was looking for something like this.

Is there really any point to 70 joules worth of protection? I decent surge suppressor is at least 300 or 500, isn't it?

Why does it seem like I can't order more than one of these? The quantity drop down box only shows 1. What gives?

I was not able to order more than one set of these. I tried what one person said of going through the order process twice but it will not let me do that either

To anyone that still doesn't understand how ThingFling works, here is my understanding (I don't work for ThingFling, I just know how to rtfm and am not afraid of FAQs).

1st order of a day is $6 shipping.
2nd order of a day is $4 shipping.
3rd order of a day is free shipping.
4th, 5th, 6th, etc is free shipping.

Each "Fling" (different product) has a "maximum items per order" ... sometimes it's 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3, not sure if it's ever more than 3. This is how many you can order for 1 shipping fee. Free Flings (almost?) always have a maximum of 1 item per order.

Some (maybe even most of all?) items have a "maximum # of orders" allowed. For Free Flings this is usually (always?) 2 orders. (it may even always be 2 orders allowed for any Fling?).

So, for a free fling, the best you can do is make 2 separate orders of 1 each paying shipping of:
$6+$4 = $10 if it's your first Fling of the day or
$4+$0 = $4 if it's your 2nd Fling of the day
$0+$0 = $0 if it's your 3rd Fling of the day (or you placed 2 orders of 1 previous Fling).

Occasionally people have problems where they place 1 order, and the system gets confused and won't let them place a 2nd order (or tries to charge them $6 shipping for the 2nd order). Most people who open a Help Desk ticket have such problems resolved fairly quickly.

I was gonna speak to the questions of electronic vs. electrical engineering and value of surge protectors, but while researching my response became distracted by other things.

I would purchase as in the past when they let us order 3 X 3. Then second purchase of 3 X 3. But not worth it IMO for only 6 for 10 USD shipped when I see nothing in the upcoming flings I could use. Again Just an opinion.

Edit: Keep in mind new or not, These are not contained in any sort of resaleable or gift package. Tossed in without packaging or shipping material.

I wouldn't use one below 1100-1200. 70 is junk which gives the owner a false sense of security.

Used my discount 3 for $3.00 seems good enough for me. Even though the protection is weak when you live in an old house like mine you just desperately need more outlets.

You have to wait for the first order to process before you can order the second with the discounted shipping.

There are two ways of doing that:

1 - Refresh the page and see when the listed shipping charge changes to $4.

If you are logged in, the shipping charge listed is your charge, not the charge everybody else gets. This is the easiest way, especially if you have a stack of coupon codes to sort through.

2 - Check your account and see when the status changes. The new order is "In Progress", according to my new order status page. I'm not sure, but the shipping might change as soon as your "My Flings" even sees the order.
