     The NAG (Northwest Amiga Group) BBS is run on an A1000.  The board
runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.  So far as I
know, the only times the board goes down is when it gets a power glitch,
then it has to be restarted.  Other than that, it works just fine.

     I don't think that there's a UPS or power conditioner for the BBS.
However, such a thing would be a wise investment for anyone thinking
about running any computer continuously.  Especially if the power is
noisy or unstable.  (Like in the town I live in.  The lights flicker
daily.  Does terrible things to computers, vcrs, etc.)
