Many times those coincide. ;-)

Keeping one's spouse happy is FAR more important than keeping a router
or modem online. ;-)

Same here. A small UPS that will keep my modem, router, and POE for
APs alive for
the time I need to run outside and hook up my generator when PG&E
decides to cut
the power again. A bigger UPS for the small 19" rack that hosts some
stuff.
Top Gear Top Tip: I also have a UPS on my garage door opener. That
saves the
misses from dealing with manually opening/closing the garage door if
I'm not
at home.
Thanks,
