Re: [info-tech] called up to the MAJORS
George, We have some UPS products in our AV Catalog. The Fall catalog should be up online sometime this week. Are you or have you purchased your HP units? Did you purchase locally or go through the AV Co_op? I don't know anything about imaging so you are on your own there!
