My mailer is messed up, so I have to post, not reply.

There are no guarantees, of course, but here is an anecdote.  I used to have
a 512K which I used in a house that had very poor power and frequent brown
outs.  There was once an interruption in power that made all the lights
shut off for a moment and caused my Imagewriter I to reset.  The Mac, which
was doing a write to floppy at the time, did not bat an eyelash.  IMHO even
the older Macintoshes are very good about tolerating bad power.  The SE and
later have even better power supplies.
