You guys be safe!! This has been a wild year for sure weatherwise. I have never had my machines off ever...as much as this last year. Lighting, thunder and high wind storms. Who ticked off Mother Nature

Hi Shinobi

Rained yesterday & more rain headed this way as well. They say the next 2 days will give us plenty and its 24C, so lots of humidity.

I turned on my AC and it will stay on for the summer. Can't breath without it as it gets too uncomfortable.

When I used to do a lot of part time tech work a few years back.. a lot of my clients used to not heed my advice to have thier internal analog modems hooked up to "at least" a surge protector... used to have at least two tech jobs replacing cards / mobo's after a t-storm all of the time..

I recommend a UPS like a APC for everything...
