I am going to need an UPS soon due to brownouts in my area :/

We have them here, too, but I don't notice them.

Let me know when you are ready and I will see if I can get you the same deal, or better, than I got. I went the eBay route, as I do with almost everything these days.

my UPS saved me from losing some work last night, I'm calling it "Tropical Storm Trinity" even though I'm far inland rofl trees down, power lines down but I had time to save work and close it down!

Mike, come on now, tell the truth. You haven't been in a real storm yet until you have lived in Iowa. And that is on a good day here.

I've lived through a Tornado that came within feet of the house , will never forget how it sounds nor the path of destruction either so I won't truly be scared in a storm again until I hear that sound and rest assured the kids will be in my arms and in the closet in my youngest daughters room then see how strong my grip is . I can't argue if I have it worse than you in NC versus Iowa but normally tbo we don't have bad storms so you could be the title taker here I was just the only poor web developer up around these parts bored out of my mind last night w/ plenty of work on my plate so that really irked me more than anything!

LOFL! No you didn't... yes you did .

I know one thing... my wife and I watched the Matt Damon movie Here After just before the recent earthquake in Japan and we were both up watching the news the morning or so after when it blasted across the screen with the 30ft+ Tsunami videos and I simply could not believe it was happening and I would much rather be carried away and *possibly* land safely or in tree rather than drown however on that note about water... ironically it was on the news today one of the least damaged homes from our recent storm as that tree fell on the house but only one large limb punctured the roof... just above the shower LOL so patch the roof and no water damage the owner was funny in the clip . Ok ok enough chit-chat this has become our everything thread it's a "run off on a tangent" type of thing but lost time to make up so I'm off!
