Hi Jim :)
    um... make a pot of coffee *before* you lose the power???  hehehe

    or maybe ensuring there is light in  the computer room after the power goes
off ... just to minimize the stubbing of toes and the banging of heads when the
lights go off?  ... after all some computer rooms don't have windows to the
outside???

Art "just a stray thot... " Bahrs
