I agree with John. Stan must hobnob with an elite crowd. I don't have a UPS at home either, and I don't know anyone that does. I do have one at work, but even there most desktop systems aren't on it. The only reason that my desktop system uses the UPS is that my cubicle is on raised floor inside the computer room and I connected it myself. Most desktop users, even at the office, are not so privileged. And my employer is a very big entity, financially. It's not a small business. -- .''`.
