Windows Tech Tip
Unplug During a Thunderstorm:
You think you surge protector will save your computer if a lightning strike occurs nearby. The truth is, sometimes it doesn't. If the area you live in is under a severe thunderstorm warning, unplug your computer from the wall outlet. You should also unplug the modem line, DSL, or cable modem from your desktop. Computers can be damaged through any external wire. Even if your surge protector insures everything, it is much easier to pull the plug than to handle a warranty claim.
