I don't think that's what he means here, but yes, they do indeed nowadays. Have one myself.

I was nursing my 4 y/o iMac and it just go to the point I couldn't stand it anymore. And my notebook quit being dependable too - it's a trifecta of expenses !
Since this is in coffee bar section, I feel safe to add to your story by saying I caught my dog lifting his leg on my pump this weekend. It didn't short it out or anything, but got me thinking about how it will respond to rain. All my equipment is fully exposed to the elements, and pump is computer based.
We haven't had any rain since moving in, I'm just hoping previous owners had it installed by someone that knew what they were doing. The manual power switch is raise off ground, so I assume that has me covered for flooding. However, the digital portion is what I'm worried about. It has a cover, but it's only a piece of plastic that I would compare to how a battery is covered on your tv remote control. We will see how it withstands the monsoon rain and dust very soon.

I hear ya. Our computer part was really low to the ground. Worst case on first big rain put it on cinder blocks. That's what we did
