depends, if you got a webcam connected to it, 
that might actually give some interresting pictures ;-)

speaking of UPS, once we had a poweroutage for a microsecond in the
whole neighborhood, all lights went out, and back on, my machines made 
a reset, except for my NeXTstation, that one just kept going as if
nothing happened.
those were the days when hardware was still made to be durable :-)
