This is why portable gaming systems are so handy I always keep a GBA handy in case I get into game withdrawals

2/3 of our computers where turned on during a thunders storm at home.

Imac and our Portable IntelPC

Thunder: '*BOOM*'

The protable Intel Pc: KABLOWY!!!!!!***smokes**
The Imac: 'Fizzle' Checked it out...not damage, Modem is fried.

So no gaming, no internet until we got another PC and ordered a Modem.

*Now* we use curcuit brakers!

I got one of those uber-huge power strips for each of my computers, and my HDTV. Thankfully my "lesson" only cost me an old TV/VCR combo.
