Had my PC get hit by lightening.

Had to change everything, as in buy a new computer.

Need new unlock, Milli says I have to buy it. WTF?

...that is the rule. Unless he has seen it for himself, he doesn't know whether or not you are telling the truth. I am not saying that you are lying, it is just a fact that you can't give away extra Winex keys just because someone says that something happened to their computer. If he did, there would be a lot of people coming up with "reasons" to get an extra unlock key.

Mili did give me an extra key - and for the record, it was a lightening hit that also took out a receiver and some other things. Damn. Smoked up the attic real good as well. Also fried several breakers outside. Elect company replaced the meter as well.. it was spinning like a top.

I think I'd be looking into a different ground
Put GFI and surge protection everywhere....

That was the thinking of the elect co guys... the existing ground was loose (well, it would be after a hit..) so I'm correcting that as well.
