shit......I hope it doesn't come over here. If that happens, I've gotta turn the computer off.
Yeah, wasn't some kid just killed by lightning through his computer? [img]eek.gif[/img]

That and the fact that there could be a power surge, and it could fry your drive scares me....

Just buy a powerbar with a surge protector. [img]graemlins/whatever.gif[/img]
I guess the storm passed me by. Nothing here.

love storms [img]graemlins/rain.gif[/img]
Yeah, your best bet is to go to a computer store and ask what they recommend. I don't know if there are different ratings or what, so I'd ask them just to be safe. I know most of the stores around here carry appropriate power bars.
good to know......I'm just using whatever power bar I've always had on here (it's probably been in the house since the early 90's [img]confused.gif[/img] )
