the last time we had a major outage was that big blackout for the 
entire north-east last summer...I was lucky, had some generator power 
for my servers and stuff, surprised nothing died with the voltage 
dipping down below 90v every so often.

"... being a Linux user is sort of like living in a house inhabited
by a large family of carpenters and architects. Every morning when
you wake up, the house is a little different. Maybe there is a new
turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily
removed the floor under your bed." - Unix for Dummies, 2nd Edition
