Thanks dr geep...very helpful.

Since you are the "man in the know, I have one more question:

If I only want a UPS to filter the noise, do I need to worry about the size (would the one at the attached link suffice?).

For backups I already have:

A duplicate computer/monitor with all programs installed (boxed not plugged into any outlets).

My work (what I get paid for) is saved every five min. to an external ZipDrive that does has it's own built in power backup. A bank of three inline surge protectors.

Lighting insurance policy that covers computer replacement...not kidding, I really do (South Fla. is the lighting capitol of the US).

So I'm not real concerned about lost data or equipment, or how long I can use my computer after lost of power.

Thanks again...you are without a doubt THE most helpful person on the net.
