August 22, 200322 yr do you turn off your computer or leave it on? i was always told to turn it off but i seldom do. and right now i am at my uncle's house and it is thundering and i am contemplating if i should shut off the computer or not :/
August 22, 200322 yr Technically you're supposed to turn it off... It depends if you're a risk-taker or not. If you really wanna use it, use it. But of your power lines get struck by lightning, it could send a surge through your lines into your house and completely fry your computer. My friend freaks out and turns off his computer but I just leave mine on, nothing's ever happened to me. :P
August 22, 200322 yr turn it off! quick! then spin round 3 times touch your nose with your tongue and sit under a table with a clam :stunned:
August 22, 200322 yr I turn my off. well its not my comp but i still turn it off.... the lightning last night was extreme!
August 22, 200322 yr my parents had their modem fried a couple years ago because they left the computer on during a storm. the rest of it was ok, i guess.
August 22, 200322 yr actually, now that i think about it, the reason the rest of my parents' computer wasn't fried is probably because they had a surge protector, but only for the computer, not the phone line.
August 22, 200322 yr awwww...shame. thunderstorms are my fave type of weather....aside from when i dance inside tornadoes :o
