my modem was struck by lightning once. i had to replace it.

when i was in school learning how to use photoshop, i thought i would show him a few tricks. pfff. he knew more than i did about photoshop, because he actually
Read The F* Manual. (yep.) and he could also explain to me how you would have done all those effects back in the day of film photography.
