Sherry, I should have explained: UPS=uninterruptible power supply. It plugs into the wall and you plug your PC and monitor into it. There's a rechargable battery inside which can power the PC and monitor for about 10 minutes after a power outage. So if you are there at the time, you have time to shut the PC down normally. I've seen those advertised for around $60. Mine is the APC Back-UPS 280. The printer doesn't need this protection, because you can always restart a print job. The surge protector only helps against voltage spikes, not against outages. Gottfried
