Storms lol
 

Hi all,

As you maybe have suspected I'm a bit offline this days, currently I'm writting from a friend PC. Thats because my computer had burned out by a storm, huh what an irony, The Storm's computer to fire up by a storm. :D
My whole motherboard, power supply and the video card have burned out but thanks to my grandmother and grandfather I will have a new nice PC in some days. :)

Actually I turn off my PC in each storm that is around the town but this time the thunder falling was very unexpected, the sky looked pretty clear and suddenly a thunder falled near to my house and burned out my pc with two TV's. But hey it's not only me, my all neighbours have burned TV's. :P

What is the lesson from all this? - Trust more to the weather forecast. :D

See ya soon,
The Storm

Nice moral of the story. Although the weather forecasts are also quite a lot wrong..

Anyhow, great that you'll have a new PC too. We are so spoiled are we? ;)

I hope Your HDD wasn't burned (or You had some CD/DVD backups). That's really irony with Your nick and that accident. :)

Re: Storms lol
 

Well Stefan, I look from the bright side of the things if there is such at all. :P

The HDD is fine, nothing is lost. :)

Re: Storms lol
 

I'm back, muhaha. :D

Re: Storms lol
 

Yay!

Welcome back! :tt1:

Another lesson... Don't just depend on a varistor (MOV) type surge suppressor in your power bar. Get one with a gas suppressor - fuse,... and get one with a good LC filter, heck get a UPS. Of course if your house gets hit...

Welcome back.
