[Shotimes] OT thats a lot of lightning

[Noah South III]

I've got 4 UPSs in my house.  Power goes out......who cares.  Broadband
never goes down when the power goes out either.  Of course powering a 21"
monitor too only gives me like 10 minutes of uptime until I have to shut
things down.  Still, the server stays up, and none of the other machines go
down either.  EVERYONE should get a UPS.
