Heh, it rained murdorously in Tokyo the last few afternoons: flash
floods swept way 6 workmen in the inner city, two bodies still
missing. Pretty hectic lightning, I lost for the first time ever cards
to surges: soundcard and ethernet card both damaged beyond
repair. Luckily backup is on the motherboard, but it sucks to lose a
Diamond Monster Sound MX300 I've used for about 10 years now :-(
