Fire extinguishers

The replacment for Halon in computer rooms is FM200, I don't know if FM200 is offered in a portable unit. Do a search on the web for FM200.
As with everything it depends on what you want/expect to use it on. On cars the most likely fire is Oil or Gas and for those the best is a dry power but it makes a hell of a mess.
You can still get halon extinguishers - you have to go to an authorized halon recycling fire fighting supply company and have them fill a 5 lb. extinguisher for you. I have 5 of them - about $50. each.

Is there a reason why? The short answer is "no". As mentioned before, dry chemical will put out a fire quicker than Halon, but will leave a residue mess so great you'd had been better off just letting it burn to the ground.
