- RE: TOASTing the Amiga...... ;-)
-
- This is certainly going to sound like 'closing the barn door after the horse
- has gone', but it's my opinion that you should completely disconnect ALL
- computer equipment during thunderstorms. And it really makes no difference
- whether or not the computer is off. It's easier to do this, if you have all
- your equipment plugged into a switcher unit, or a protected strip. I have heard
- about SO many people who fry their serial port (usually people who run BBSes)
- Disconnecting the phone line from the modem is also very wise. This is
- something I adhere to myself.....
