I recently had a power outage while running a 3B1.  No UPS on hand and the 
system would not come back up from hard disk or floppy.  The floppy would not 
read at all.  Technician came and fixed all by replacing the motherboard.
No hard errors (or soft) on the hard disk, although the super block was
blown and I needed to reformat the hard disk.

The recommendation is of course for a UPS.  Supposedly no "trapping" is done
on power outages.  Does anyone else have experience or comments on this?
