I had lightning strike a tree in my back yard and jump to the skin of my

There's a lot of controversy about the efficacy of lightning rods,
and how they work. There are two modes of operation, based on whether
it's a blunt rod or a pointed one.

No surge suppressor can protect your computer from an arbitrarily large
surge, but at least the (better) suppressors come with a warranty that
will
replace the equipment that got fried. That's worth something (plus the
protection against lesser surges, of course).

Even unplugging the appliances isn't a guarantee that they would be

G'day,
I'm just about to part with my hard earned cash and buy an ex-demo G5 tower

Do you own one of the above machines and if so what issues (if any) have you
