Once upon a time, out on MARS.

While reading the mail, wispering this:

JD>  RW> My local power company offers protectors install'd in the power meter
 RW> and protecting the whole house..

JD> ... only from when the lightning strikes the power grid.

JD> Call me cynical, but I'd say that it is a fair bet that if the lightning
JD> strikes your TV aerial, or telephone lines (which is what happened where I
JD> live -- hence the vast numbers of modems that were killed), the power
compa
ny
JD> will tell you that you are on your own.

Yep, that's why all my computers are insured, with full
replacement guaranteed for any/all repairs, etc from flood,
lightning, fire and theft. (I checked and they also cover
earthquakes..)
