I am probably very behind times, but if these litle spherules/waves aka "electrons" are the same as they were in my youths, i. e. pre-PC age, in the worst case nothing will be fried except the primary winding of the transformer/adapter (fires can begin this way, actually :-) ). My surge protector is rated at 90 j and the only thing hooked to it midi-tower desktop (100w?). Cordless phones are so cheap now that I'd gladly replace mine with a latest model.
