Just out of curiosity, is it possible to be shocked from a lightning strike through the computer/mouse?

If you're referring to an actual bolt of lightening striking your computer, then yes, you would be electrocuted if you were touching it. If you're talking about a power surge, then it's possible, if you aren't grounded, that you could be shocked or even electrocuted. It's wise to turn off and unplug as many electronics as you can in a lightening storm.

Yes. I would say it would be a low probability, but that's why you stay off the phone and away from electronics when there's a storm.

Well I guess almost anything is possible, but it is much more likely that the computer will be damaged.

depends how much of a surge your puter is zapped with.
chances are not at all, but your motherboard will not like ANY jolt of static!
