Apropos this thread, was driving today and saw a truck that said "Data

about it, but sure, that's a specialty -- folks trained NOT to unplug
things, press red buttons, or pour liquids! (And, a friend adds, not

Our first UPS many years ago was only able to power all equipment in the
computer room and the building chilled water pumps for 15 minutes and
had no generator backup. This was a big improvement over no UPS,

Back in the 80's I worked for 2 different companies, each at an opposite end

I, unfortunately, have lived it. Minus the 23 minutes.
