lightning strikes! I've lost 3 out of 4 pc's, air conditioner and God knows what else.
I'm redirecting the website to the old one until I get the pc's back up.
Sorry for the inconvinience, I know the info on them will be old.

Jeff with that much damage you should be able to file on your insurance and come out ahead.

The web server appears to be saved. Storm took out every nic in all my pc's but the unix box appears to not suffered anything other than that as of now. I am having a bit of trouble getting my new router to hold the unix box ip in the dmz. I have redirected the link at the geocities site back to my server at home but left the backup index at freewebpage pointing at that site for now until I get the ip situation handled.
And to think, I was going to blow all that money I just spent on home electronics on a overhaul on the ktm. Good news was my air conditioner repair was only $250. I'm glad it only took out the board and not the entire unit because I just had it all replaced in March.
Here's my list so far. 4 nics, 2 did no good 2 pc's 1 router 1 answering machine. 2 cordless telephones 1 home stereo 1 main board in a/c unit
I don't know if I'm done yet but at least I'm functioning again.

I know the feeling just replaced my AC and was driving to Marlin to get some things when a truck threw a rock and broke out the windshield on my truck. Where is a cop when you need one?

Jeff, it seems if it weren't for bad luck , you wouldn't have any luck at all. I hope things start looking up soon.

Wow! Do you use ups's on your systems? I don't run a system without one! They're a cheap way to insure your hardware if it's damaged.

You should ask the WEMC to help with the money to get a ups for the club server. If they say no, I'll pitch in to help buy one. Maybe, other members will help out too. (hint, hint) Altex has Tripp-Lite at a good price, and, of course, Fry's has good prices on everything! I hate Fry's! They have most of my money! It's like a Toys-R-Us for computer geeks like me! ;D
