   GM Ed,   
      
    HG> I don't understand why you have an UPS if you turn it off!   
      
   EV> The UPS has a ON/OFF button on it.   
      
   Yes, they usually have.   
      
   EV> I bought it because of the occasional momentary power drop out that   
   EV> happens here.   
      
   That is normally the reason for using an UPS.   
      
   EV> I didn't have it supplying power to the C=64 until one time the wife   
   EV> left my room and flipped the light switch off, and the C=64 was   
   EV> connected to the switchable A.C. outlet in my room, that my lamp   
   EV> gets its power from.   
      
   My radio desk is also connected to a switchable outlet but the computer   
   is plugged into the UPS that gets its AC power from a fixed outlet.   
      
   The monitor gets power from the radio desk (via the switchable outlet).
