I’m a geek. That means my house is wired for Ethernet, my office is wired for Ethernet, and I have routers and computers and broadband everywhere.
I live in Florida, the lightning capital of the world.
We’ve been having hellacious electrical storms all week. The toll so far: One router, one PC, one iMac, one cable modem, and one hub, all destroyed.
Add to that the laptop I destroyed yesterday while trying to replace the hard drive, and it’s been an expensive fucking week. Grr.
ouuuuuuuch! I haven’t turned my computer off all week, I have no idea how we avoided toasty computers here.

What about APC’s warranty? Should be good for getting some of your stuff covered as long as they were on UPSes that failed.
Nope. The lightning strike hit the cable, not the power. Went through the cable box (which was damaged), then through the cable modem (which was destroyed) and the router (ditto), and from there to all the computers in the house.
Sucks…

Oh geez. That’s more than my life is currently worth.
You need something to cheer you up. Go take this, it’ll cheer you up.
Interestingly, I rank only 42.20907% geeky. I think the test asks the wrong questions. 🙂
Well, how many tests have you seen that have a point for
“I have… written my own PDP-11 OS”
?

You obviously need a room with latex floors…
