you can count on the power being interrupted every time a pigeon lands
on a wire. So, I keep it turned off until I'm ready to use it. The only

So your internet is okay for participating in lists but not for buying
a UPS/BBU with line conditioning?

Heh, I killed off the last UPS with the power going down and staying
down long enough for a UPS not to matter much. The battery finally gave
out. Ric
