    What I did read is that you shouldn't leave the internet connection on, or talk on the phone. Never heard about the computer itself.

    Turning it off won't prevent it from being fried, you would have to unplug it from the mains, that and the phone line for it to be protected.

    Well, yes. When I said turn it off, I *do* mean unplug it too. That would only be common sense. Surely?

    You'd be surprised at how many people lack common sense....esp if they don't know anything about in-house electricity or lightning power... ;)
    Not suggesting you, LovedUpBlonde, are one of those people:naughty:

    That won't help if lightning strikes. ;)
    The power of the lightning hit will just smash the surge protector and fry your electric stuff...
