    Pulsating DC can hurt sensitive electronics.

    Not meaning to jump on your comments. You are generally correct. However there is more to this than a failure. Pulsating DC and other line garbage can cause failures in the computer itself. Most laptop power supplies are made to filter this crap out. At home I run all my electronics through a UPS. Even an AC compressor starting up can cause garbage to come in.
