a UPS is an “uninterruptable Power supply” Basically it is a battery with a power inverter that keeps temporary power available to your device(s) long enough to shut them down. A UPS is a short term method of keeping power, the better move would be a generator.

It is amazing how the basic rights that we have had have now been turned into a laundry list of “things”. They are not rights, they are entitlements even then they are not even that, but really just “wants”. I want money for not working, I am entitled to have a living even though I am not working, it is my RIGHT to take your money, rich person. Everybody “wants” something. Doesn’t mean you have a RIGHT to it. That is the problem.

As to the other question, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is definately not Big Brown.

Anyway, how do you know I’m a professional IT person? Did I mention it somewhere and not remember doing so?

BTW, how is it that a professional IT person was without a UPS to prevent such a problem with the computer? Tsk, tsk. After having been forced by circumstances to leave the Atlanta area and return to my birthplace near Buffalo, NY, I found it to be like moving from an advanced civilized country to a third-world country. Had to get my own UPS to protect from the regular power outages here — and there usually aren’t severe thunderstorms on which to blame the outages. The power just goes out from 2-4 hours every few months.
