   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.   
      
     It's finicky...think of a cat and its food.    
      
   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.   
      
     I think my power settings are 2 minutes for the screen saver to kick   
   in, and a minute later (if there's no keyboard input), the monitor turns   
   itself off.   
      
   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 stops?   
      
     There may be a setting with software with the UPS's, or with the   
   device itself, where you can disable those beeps. However, if it looks   
   like power will be off for an extended period, I just power everything   
   down...and take a nap...although I gave up on the idea of "beauty sleep"   
   long ago. :P
