So we had a SICK huge thunderstorm last night.
It fried our cable modem.
DOH!
Got to work, discovered that it must have hit one of Comcast's trunks, as at least one other person in Cambridge had a piece of cable equipment fried (her set-top box).

Ah well, get to replace my cable modem.
That means I get to go to microcenter!
mmm... microcenter...
*drool*

I hope they've come down since we got ours.

...I would imagine so, since that was 6 years ago.

Wow, I think the cable modem is our oldest still-in-use piece of computer equipment.

I paid like $40 for mine last year. I'm assuming that's less than you paid 6 years ago. ;o)

I never was good at math, 40 is less than 300, yes?

Well, it's good to know that the price has reasonablized in the past few years.

I swear that should be a word.

reasonablized...
I'll start using it. ^_^
