Every day at around 11am (plus or minus 20 minutes or so), my "best" UPS beeps. I don't see anything happen to the lights, and none of the other UPS's do anything, but I always hear a beep at about 11am. The chap who is the supervisor for the local Sask Power division was waiting in my lobby for his kids one night, and I asked him if anything happens on the Sask Power lines at 11am. He said that they have an automatic load sensing device that switches a transformer from one mode to another and the load always reaches the point that it's set for at around 11am. So that mystery was solved. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
