Laptops plus off-site servers....

Laptops are good, but I need to fiddle with plugs and wires so my wireless ADSL router can draw from the oasis of electrons during those moments of madness when all the lights go out.

This is true, but usually I just un-plug it a few times....

I suspected some people might be harbouring lead acid foot rests, door props and dust collectors. My last company certain did, so I thought I'd gauge the state of play at home.

I take my UPS camping.

Handy for charging mobile phones.

I've just moved back to the UK, so in theory should be OK.

I was living out in Brazil where a surge protector is a given, and I was using a UPS as well.

We got a UPS when we still lived in Ely since the power supply was really quite unrealiable. And it's not very nice for the poor PCs :) It's still useful since the power supply is better but we still get cuts, so it's a very useful thing to have.
