Times Delayed By Lightning Strike

September 1998

Historical September–October 1998 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

A strong storm on a late August afternoon disabled the computer of the Times’ production manager and delayed the appearance of this issue_ Although armed with a more than adequate surge protector, lightning struck the computer through the telephone line connecting its modem to the Internet. Luckily, the machine was successfully repaired but there is a lesson here for all of us with telephone hook-ups.

Originally published in The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, September–October 1998.
