I've never lost a computer to lightning (and I live in South Florida, the 'Lightning Capital of the World'), but I have lost four modems and one cordless phone to lightning. It's clear to me that the phone line is the most likely vector for damage to electronic devices. That's my experience. ---Alex -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
