Well I got a Rube Goldberg computer setup here anyways. But no, the big CPU, which is also my server, simply would not boot up. The green light indicated it was spinning but....
I suppose if I had a boot up disk, which I don’t, I could get it to work. But I figure, why bother? I do believe the data on that hard drive can be saved but, truth be told, the world won’t come to an end if it can’t.
My kitchen computer, which is where I’m typing from now, works just fine. IT was off during the big lightning boom whereas the other was on. Don’t know if it matters because you can take what I know about lightning strikes and shove it up the behind of a flea.
We have four TV’s in the house but the two that burnt out were the ones NOT hooked up to Comcast’s latest and greatest thing that let’s you order pay-for-view from your home, yada, yada. THOSE two TV’s, and the really expensive ones, are fine. The two that fried were just little things but hey, they died, may they rest in peace.
The family room fan, I’m not making this up, will NOT turn off. Husband jury rigged the thing but go to hell, we have no light and the fan does need to be fixed, somehow, someway.
The garage door is the real puzzler. Who’d have thunk? But darn if it doesn’t work. Husband says circuit board burned out. As chance would have it, the chain on that thing broke about three months ago and we had to have it fixed. When they fixed it they also modified it so you could open it by hand. This is my first home even with a garage much less a garage auto door and I’d never even gave a thought what happens when you can’t open it manually.
But we were able, this time, to open the garage so my Jeep wasn’t trapped.
Tomorrow I shall be dealing with the homeowner’s. I have owned four houses over an almost 40 year period. This is the FIRST time I have filed a claim.
I shall win.
Sorry about you lightning problems. I ran a cleanup program on my computer and it dumped the program that allows me to log on. Wound up losing everything and having to reinstall Windows. Real bummer!
