Speaking of scared, last night about midnight we got a thunder storm, got up, turnoff and unplugged the computer. This morning when firing up, about 5 beeps and message stating " Computer chipset fan not working" and a lot of other sentences I iqnored trying to shut down.
My computer guru told me lightening did done me in, woe is me, a whole weekend of flying and no box.
To his shop, blew some air in the various fans (which I had also done a week ago) all quieted down, loaded fine.
So all turned out well, see everyone Saturday night.
Happy ending....Pooka
