the "Last Person to blah blah blah" thread is now old enough to vote (in the US)

Me too!

On the other hand mine is going back up nicely right now.

Well, Exeter is almost completely out of SETI Units; so, it is crunching Einstein. The GTX-760 on Exeter is crunching two Einstein units at a time... :-)

Well, actually, if you have your documentation on your systems; the power company IS liable for damages done. Back in 1996, a couple of months after I bought my $8,000.00 MAC Clone Graphics Studio, PG&E caused a surge on a major line in the area. The surge jumped my APC SurgeArrest strip and caused software/OS scrambling... System wouldn't boot right, couldn't get to Desktop. I called PG&E, got a Supervisor, asked him nicely if any work had been done in the area the night before, he said "Yes..." and gave me the street location. (A couple blocks away...) I told him that my brand new $8,000 system had been affected, and that I needed an Apple Technician to look at it to see if it could be salvaged, or if it needed to be replaced. He authorized me to get an Apple Tech to look at the system.

Luckily for PG&E, the Tech brought "Tech Tool Pro", ran it on my system, corrected some errors in the software on the hard drive, rebooted, and all was fine. This cost less than $200; and PG&E was VERY HAPPY to pay that amount. :-)

So, I hope nothing does go wrong, but if something happens and you have your documentation, you should be fine.
