mother nature! Respect.
here in NC, lightning came through my bedroom window and fried my motherboard to a crisp. that was really a drag at the time as I was still poor and couldn't just go pick up a new computer. my boss gave me hers, a tiny little Lenovo (? i think) that i still keep in my room just to scroll pictures on the screen saver. can't really do anything else with it at this point.

i don't quite get those people standing outside in it. don't they know they're much likelier to be struck by lightning than to win the lottery?
