Actually, it's quite interesting because at my school, we had a couple
servers running in the tech office because there was no space left in
the server room.  The admin's computer was on a UPS, and the 2 servers
were on surge suppressors.  There was a power-related problem, and it
kept "flickering" - turning off and back on rapidly.  Well, the 2
servers stayed up just fine, and the admin's workstation kept turning
off.  It was, of course, a faulty UPS, but still, it kind of makes you
think. :-)

(Eventually, the power went out long enough for the servers to go
down, but, the servers being netware and all, they had no problem.)
