Howdy guys n gals,
some of you may know my computer got hit by lightning last week. I have spoken with the repiar guy and he says everything checks out except the motherboard. Bad deal for any computer. So, untill he gets a new one in from dell it could be a few more days. I hope. I am still able to get my email from my wifes computer, but all my graphic programs are on mine. Anyone that is waiting for their designs made please bare with me and any one wanting designs made can still email me and I'll add you to the list. I'll keep posting updates at my site design forum as I get them.
As far as surge protection for computers .. guess they don't protect you with direct hits. Heck the computer wasn't even on at the time. It hit it hard enough to turn it on.
It also got my neighbors computer to. It hit hers hard enough it turned her television on and fried her computer also, which also wasn't on. Guess it's best to unplug them.
