Did anyone else in Plymouth just loose power?

 ~ Theo, swearing lots at loosing some work

That's why I got a simple UPS. Mega-heavy but only 30quid from PCWorld. Both 
the workstation and the server are powered for as much as 30 minutes with no 
interruption. I just get a squealing alarm from upstairs. The other machine 
is a laptop, so providing the battery is not completely flat, the whole 
network stays on.

The only thing that isn't UPS powered is the external modem, so I might 
disappear offline, but I've always got long enough to safely shutdown all 
machines on the network if necessary.

Power-cuts in Plymouth are 4 a penny. At one stage, I was noticing as many as 
6 per month - anything from 2 seconds to 20 minutes.
