I always seem to live in places that get hit by lightening. I've lost a tv, 2 vcrs, an answering machine, a computer power supply, a hard drive and several modems. Since I earn my living working at home with these keyboards, I've found the single best solution for lightning protection. When the thunder starts, I yank the power cord supplying the computers, monitors & peripherals. Also the phone line and cable that feed the modems. Haven't lost a single computer item since I started doing this. I place little faith in an electrical solution to lightening protection. Make sure your building is properly grounded as well as the phone, power & cable lines coming in. And yank the plug when thunder rolls. It's free and it works every time. Wayne Edited for spelling.
