If he meant permanently destroyed, I think a better surge protector *would* have helped, as perhaps there was a spike that rode along with the outage. If he meant the computers turned off, then yes, nothing short of a UPS would help that. I use a UPS, and it keeps me working through an average of I'd say 3 brief outages per month.
