Paul,

Buy the silly 'comodem' protector and nuke your CPU anyway!  Do they cover
coil zappin'???   Enjoy the "Down" time, the reformat, and all the other fun
of getting back on line and waiting for the insurance check to come.

                                OR...

"unplug the phone line from your modem if you are not siting infront
 of the glowing screen!!!"
