Smart UPS
>>main circuit breaker…
That's what uninterruptable power supplies are for! But the dogs…
Hey, Larry, (and everybody) speaking about UPSs, let me tell you about
my experience with one company, APC. Nearly two years ago I bought a
Smart-UPS from American Power Conversion. The thing worked
flawlessly, saving my tail several times when the power glitched.
Then a couple of weeks ago, the power went out twice in one morning,
the second time for just a fraction of a second. The UPS glitched
and off went the computer! Ack! After a couple of trys, it came
back on and seemed to work fine.
The point of all this is I called APC to ask them about it, and even
though the unit appears to work fine now, they sent me an exchange
unit, no charge, just in case. Talk about service! I was so
impressed I bought a second unit the same day for my second computer.
There are so many negative stories about various companies, I thought
it would be nice to tell a positive one. BTW, the Smart-UPS 600 will
run the pentium (fully loaded) with a 20" monitor for about 25
minutes before the 2-minute warning.
