But if I was getting a UPS, I'd want one that I could change the battery without having to shut down the computer (how it gets power in the meantime is another matter). UPS means uninterrupted, or uninterruptable, power supply. It ain't one if it can't do that... ;-) -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
