I have a problem which may preclude your question in order of importance.

Seems upon my return home the power is out. The Universal Power Supplies were whining like crazy so it could not have been for very long but everything is down except for this portable I'm on. The Utility Company says four hours....I don't know if that includes the time these guys spend in the local pubs or not.

But now I have two problems, one being a high school freshman who needs help for his Math Final tomorrow and the other working on the database. With the power out I don't know if I can get either one satisfied but I'm afraid the data isn't the first priority if and when it kicks back in, Tom.

I really hate this stuff, evidently I live on a street where our transformer is the last to be reset each time because it affects the fewest number of people.

Of course this does not carry much weight when I see the Utility people hanging out in the pubs.....but no matter what I'm locked out here. Maybe I can create a Utility Thread where Utility workers will listen patiently to my complaints......something like the Quote.com Thread.

Anyway, I'm really out of power here and it's getting dark. If I get something going later I'll follow that stuff up but to be honest it's something I would like to do but I think I may not be able to. The kid's math is going to be my first task if I get power back tonight.
