Chuck:

Yeah, but since I haven't bought a UPS yet, I didn't do anything with that. I'd 
just like to know if there was a 'disruption' but ~no~ message was sent 
~anywhere~ or there somehow was no power problem in that part of the house. 
Either way I look at it, it isn't comfortable.

Unless... it's just one more thing to add to the list about why an AS/400 is 
more reliable. Maybe the message ~would~ be sent if a few more cycles were 
dropped.
