lightning strike residue

I can't believe it, in May 2004, but we're still feeling some of the aftershock of our home being hit by lightning. The home machine has had a quivering CD/DVD drive I suspected was on its way out. Did a re-install of XP Pro, added a DVD burner and replaced our TV card with a Hauppage PVR-150 and it ALL WORKS! I'm patting myself vigorously on the back.
