Ok, the first monitor was old, maybe 12yrs, on an HP Aero. But the same week
I lost a brand new computer monitor. And the weather was light drizzle.
Ever since, I hesitate using my computers in the rain. And the laptop ran
with an adaptor which means the surge wudda had to jump the induction coild
(unlikely). I realy want to put som erational persectiv eon this.

So the most reasonable explanation was someone told me there were odd
electrical storms that week, something like Aurora Borealis.

Can anyone tell me how I can find out if such electrical events occured then
and if they do explain these events?

I did Fry two modems in 2002 but htose were real nasty storms, one was
actually a tornado that took a few roofs of fin my block. That one I can
UNDERSTAND. Now, I have a surge supressor on my phone line (all my home
computers use dialup not broadband). And they switche dus to fiber two years
ago, but they took the coppe routput all around the hous eand put it back
into the copper nabe box. So I made a ground from where the ol dcopper
eneters the house to my fence. Some say I shudda just put the wire in the
ground not the fence.
