What is it called when the 60hz line power becomes something else?

    Sounds like BS to me! Power companies control their frequency VERY
closely. They frequently drop the voltage some under HEAVY laods like major
snow storms but I've never heard of them changing the frequency.

  Besides the frequency shouldn't affect your computer, unless it's WAY off.
