This is a fairly simple one but worth telling anyway. We have a
     power failure in the medical area. Our 937 went into battery mode. At
     the time of the power failure a large printout was in progress on one
     of our 256x printers. After about 45-50 minutes the power came back.
     The printers came back on line and the large report picked up right
     where it left off, almost as though the power failure never happened.

Mee too!

Is anyone recording all these success stories?
This would make a great little book, or better yet
a great video! Maybe we could create it and send copies
to Lew Platt, others in HP's upper management and even the press.

Hey, if we can create the world's largest comptuer generated
poster on a windy day, this should be a piece of cake!
