The only problem is the infrequesnt power outages, I have underground

I am still trying to make them take the bios setting of automatically
restarting when the power comes back on. Fortunately the power has
only gone out once in 2 years!!!! Knocking on wood here!!!

My power goes out much more frequently than that, but the outages are
typically only a matter of seconds.  Three UPS units for my eight home
non-laptop CPUs were the best investment I've made in years, saving
many frustrations (and WUs).

Obligatory Gripe:  Still can't get any work from BOINC for my machines
that don't have a permanent Internet connection.  SETI Classic at
52102 completed WUs rolls on...
