We had a simple load shift here a few weeks ago, except they blew the execution and everything crashed. When all was said and done I lost a brand new router. Fortunately, Best Buy gave me a new one without a problem. I have all my computer stuff and big screen TV on uninterrupted power supply,

Walter, You have a TV on a UPS? Why would you do that? I suspect you are not talking about uninterrupted power supply, but rather about a surge protector. Typically, many devices die not when the power goes down, but rather when it comes back up. At that point, all the equipment starts at

Yes, I am talking about an uninterrupted power supply. So, no matter if it is a surge or a power loss, the battery backup provides an uninterrupted power source. I do so with the tv because it is an LCD screen and power surges and power loses can damage the lcd's. Mine is rated at 500 watts so

Yeah, it was a pisser. I looked into buying a new adapter. Apple doesn't make them any more, and used ones go for around $100 on ebay. My cinema display can't quite reach optimum brightness for my working conditions any more. It's where I park my photoshop menus and, when I'm writing, extra
