You would. When the rain was on here in lefkas the power was going out
regularly 2 or 3 times a day. We're on the coast too.

A UPS would have been useful in a few cases - 2 minutes of non power (or
even a big voltage drop), is cured by a ups, and saves a lot of grief.

if you buy a computer in greece and run it without a UPS on any island, i'd
bet it'll be toasted within a month ;p

These 3 seem ok, been on every day since may (one since march). Surge strip to 
protect them. I wouldnt vouch for the data integrity, as they are in an 
internet cafe - the ammount of gunk on them is disgusting.

Greek rain. urgh. reminds me of forest gump, where he is in vietnam, and the
rain comes from up, down, left right, infront, and behind - all at once ;)

Was pretty bad for a few days last weekend, but its back up to 90F today. Any 
hotter and we'll be back up in the mountains to cool down.

first rain of the season is *nasty*. electic _always_ goes down :/

ps: you in greece atm? ;)
