Leaving a laptop plugged in during a thunderstorm works good to fry a computer also. In central South Carolina where this happened the thunderstorms roll through about the same time every afternoon all summer long. So it’s not like I was unaware that this sort of thing was possible.
The thunderstorm fried my answering machine also. I was rather displeased by it all. This happened over 20 years ago. I’m still somewhat ticked off about it, however.
