Hard to believe that we are in the 21st century, and there is still no dependable, long-lasting energy storage solution at the consumer level. Back in the 1980s when I was going to college, I thought for sure that by 2001, we would have batteries the size of cigarette packs that could run an entire household worth of appliances for at least a month. Instead battery technology has barely improved in the last quarter century, if at all! --- In [email protected], "Jerry Gress" <pleasenospample...@...> wrote: > > Hello Folks, > > > > Just learned something new, if RT, day trader and you have an UPS with a > battery over 3 years you could have a computer that shuts off and re-boots > in the middle of a trade!
