I have no dog in this fight, but I am still on a dial-up connection (as are several million others)...And a huge storm swept through the Great Lakes/NorthEast area over the last few days...I didn't lose my Internet connection, but I did lose power several times, briefly...Enough to have to reset my VCR/PC/alarm clock etc...The bulk of the storm was North of me...But the town I am in got 5 inches of rain in an hour...Power lines/poles were down...

...Stuff happens...We can't always luck out...I count myself lucky that I've never had an auction bid in when the power/phones go out...
