You are right. I meant that the PC will get its power directly from the electricity company, as it did before you inserted the UPS. In addition, the UPS might supply power to a dummy load, like a bulb lamp. The reasoning is that while experimenting with the UPS, one doesn't want the PC to be shutdown unexpectedly, or to be concerned about such an event. Yet he does like to have a clear indication when the UPS powers a load. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
