Youngins :-)

True story... My first computer was a Atari 800XL. My second computer was 
the families Tandy 1000SX. My 3rd computer was a Gateway 2000 386-25DX 
that was in a totally identical case to the one you dropped!!!

Got damaged my lightning. I ran a Telegard BBS and if I wasn't at home 
to unplug the modem.. I still have a USRobotics Courier HST Dual Standard 
14400 that supports both v32bis and HST... that has scorch marks in it 
from the lightning arcing in the case. FOR DEMONSTATION PURPOSES ONLY 
reads the plate riveted to it (it was a sysop program modem.)
