Size the units for your load, buy what you need. Makes a big difference if you want 2 minutes of protection, or want the unit to run for 30 minutes. All depends on the nature of the power outages you experience.
My UPS came with a USB cable, which would alert the computer to shut down automatically, even if you weren't there at the moment. I have a UPS built into my computer at work, very slick. Until you realize it's simply a laptop :-) Glen ----- Original Message ----- From: "S a n r" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [TiVo Central] Amazon.com: APC Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V: Electronics > wow I didn't know that.I didn't understand the dynamics part. > > Well, one was the 550 and the other 350 av.
