All joking aside, just another reason to make regular backups and be sure your insurance is up to date and will cover a replacement should the need arise.
Most homeowners and renters' insurance will cover a complete replacement, but it's always nice to be sure. And to the apartment dwellers who've never thought of renters' insurance, check with your regular insurance company. You can get a few thousand dollars worth for 20 bucks a year. rob Anne Cartwright wrote: > Eric, > > My whole set up is hooked to a surge protector which in turn is > plugged into a UPS/surge protector, however as I understand it, if > lightnig hits close enough it will fry them too.
