Gee, just when I thought I was safe from power glitches/outages by getting an UPS.... Also, I just realized that I'm connected full time through my cable modem (which is always connected). And since I still have a 56K modem connected to the phone line (through my UPS), am I in double danger from a lightning strike? And what is one supposed to do everytime a thunderstorm rolls through...unplug everything in sight? What do all of you do? And not to mention the possibility of a thunderstorm popping up when I'm not home. But thanks for reminding me of the UPS insurance policy. Uh-oh, I hear thunder in the distance...
