We got lucky. Though there are still 200,000 homes in New Hampshire without power, ours came back on today.
Thought the power surge blew the power supply/motherboard in my Media Center PC 🙁
I got concerned email from Microsoft (Thanks Natalie & ScottGu) and from local friends (thanks Ron & Jon) and friend as far away as Iran (thanks Armin)
So, I’ll be back up to speed by tomorrow.
So… The damage.
- $1000 for Generator, gas, extension cords, batteries, and ancillary gear.
- $ ??? – For a replacement computer
- 11 impressive bruises from falling down a full icey flight of stairs in the dark 🙂
It’s amazing what we take for granted.
Since there are still so many local families without services, we’ve opened up our home to a couple of local families to come stay until their own power is back.
Many thanks to all for your interest!

In fact – I DID have a surge protector – it’s didn’t save the PC !!!
