   EV> had one instance of the power going out that caused the lights in my   
   EV> room to Flash OFF for a brief period, my Monitor shut OFF although I   
   EV> could see that the computer stayed UP when I turned the Monitor back   
   EV> ON.   
      
   That must have been a very short outage that apparently let the storage   
   in the electrolytics keep the machine alive.   
      
   Windows isn't known to tolerate that such things happen.
