Thunder and lightning this evening

We had a bit of a storm here tonite so I shut down my computer.
The last time it cost me $300 from a power surge so I wasn`t taking any chances with the lightning causing me any computer problems....

This morning my wireless was down but it`s up now.
I hate when it goes own on the weekend cause it`s usually at least Monday when the techs get to it but I got lucky this time.
I had to go on dial-up and luckily my neighbor came by to get some welding down on his tractor and rescued me.....

Your Sasktel is cable or wireless? If it`s cable I imagine that`s a lot more dependable than wireless.
