Knowing the wiring in this place, I would think that could be it... but I'm already passed thru a UPS, and the UPS tests good (both via the built in test button, and by yanking the plug from the wall and letting the UPS battery take over). So it probably isn't the wiring that is at fault. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
