I was surprised when we had some power drops hit my house: my modem recycled
itself, but the Mac SE kept going.  I have been saving for an Uninterruptable
Power Supply (UPS)--which has zero switching time--as I have been told
that switching time would kill a computer, but maybe a less expensive backup
power supply--with a small switching time--would suffice?
