I had sme real frustrations 2 days ago. I was talking to my Credit Union about online access. They keep shutting off my password if I don't visit enough enough. Well, I woukld think they would be happy that I don't bother them often, but I suppose that means I don't see the loan offers (that I never ever bother using).
But in the middle of the call, KERBLAM!!! Out of nowhere, thunder and lightning directly overhead in the same instant... Then torrents of rain (which The Weather Channel did not predict).
I have a battery backup surge protector of course but that was too much for it and it shut down. An hour later, it all stopped. But I couldn't reach any internet sites. The TV worked, so I hadn't lost my cable service. Restarting the computer several times didn't work. Shutting down and restarting didn't help.
Somewhere, there is a "take service online" menu choice, but I couldn't find it. So I just left everything shut down
Yesterday, I tried everything again. No luck. Then I remembered about disconnecting and reconnecting the router. That finally worked. 👍
I happened to look outside while waiting, and saw the rain gauge. 2.25"! In about 1 hour! Well, that should keep the grass and shrubs happy for a while. But it was worrisome for a while. I was afraid the computer was fried.
