Duh... Yea, like I am going to tell them about it... They RMA'd an old
600 APC personal unit, you know the kind for ONE puter only. I had 12
units plugged into it. It held up for a good 5minutes even with that
load, which is enough for the occasional 30second outage. But anyway, 12
puters on this little personal unit fried it, and they gave me a new one.
Silence is the key!
