my power is out right now. I am keeping my computer and internet going off of continual lightning strikes. The rest of the house is without power.

I tried calling the Powerstream number 1-877-777-3810 but it just keeps ringing... Can anyone get through?

Never mind, I spoke to soon. Just had a quick power outage here in Richmond Hill/Aurora location. Came back on instantly of course.
Luckily thanks to my Motherboard (Yay for Asus), the Asus Anti Surge protection thingy triggered so my PSU was not affected by the surge, etc. Don't know if that's a good thing or bad, but any how. All is well when booting.

Actually I posted to show how stupid posts like this are, and yeas the joke was that it's just as bad as those idiots(no names of course) that ask the same dumb "what's open" thread.
