   Hi Ed,   
      
   EV> Windows is so finnicy(sp?) that I rather have the monitor powered by   
   EV> the UPS if the black out lasts long and the beeping continues until   
   EV> everything is shut down.   
      
   I don't know Windows well enough to comment on that.   
      
   EV> I boxed up my CRT Monitor when I bought a LCD Monitor.   
   EV> I'm not sure but think the newer one doesn't grab much power.   
      
   Normally it should draw very little power when in stand by but if it's   
   powered up it draws much more power. Maybe less than a CRT monitor.   
      
   EV> A thought just came to my mind - during a power black out do You, or   
   EV> Anyone else reading this, NOT turn their UPS OFF so the beeping   
   EV> stops?   
      
   No, I don't and I don't know what "anybody else" does. All power and   
   phone lines are underground here so they are not sensitive to lightning   
   charges either.   
      
   BTW, I would appreciate if you could leave out that "73" at the end of   
   your last sentence or at least move it to an own line.   
      
   You may even have placed it on a separate line but not separated by a   
   line feed so when the lines are wrapped in my reader it does appear   
   right after your last sentence.
