Charles,

CS>I think in all my years of computing, I've been BLESSED! I've only lost 2
CS>computers from a power surge or lightening!  I"m surprised it's not alot
CS>more.. lol

  Well, the computer hasn't been hit by lightning, although I'm a 2 time
lightning strike survivor. Indirect strikes at 3 and 16 resulted in both
a severe shock, and nervous system damage. But, I carry no electrical
charge, and can be handled safely. <G>

CS>See, it's the BBS name.. it attracts ligthening! *grin*

  I was going to originally call it "The Wall Cloud BBS". A wall cloud,
is the lowered portion of a cloud at the southwest corner of a severe
thunderstorm, in a rain free area. This is where a tornado is most
likely to develop. One of my first users (her son designed the lightning
ANSI I have at logon) suggested "The Thunderbolt BBS" for a name. I
liked it so much, that it "stuck".
