Gustav, I agree, but in my situation I'm using them for servers. Not really a job for a laptop. I'm guessing too that in Susan's situation she already has a desktop/tower computer and it would be much less expensive to buy the ups than a new laptop.

I've come across the Belkin UPS's at Buy.com (search for Belkin UPS at buy.com's website). I just paid $145 for a 1500va UPS. This is the second one I've purchased and both have been for small business servers. The first one I setup has been put to good use several times in the last year as the power where it is installed is down quite a bit. From the reviews I've read about them, the length of time they will provide power at full load is exaggerated but for the price they can protect a good amount of equipment long enough to shut it down gracefully. It even comes with a serial and usb cable to connect to your computer and a $30 mail-in rebate. ----- Original Message ---- From: John Bartow <john at winhaven.net> To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 10:09:14 AM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Corrupted Word file About 8 years ago I lost 1/2 hours worth of work on a PowerPoint right before I had to leave for a presentation. I've never had a power related file problem again - because I went out and bought a UPS ;-) -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins =====Circuit breaker flipped. :( I have the text, so I'll just start reformatting it.
