//ot: (now that this has become a UPS discussion thread!!!) SF that's one of the interesting things isn't it? To make something attractive to consumers you have to bring the price down. Thus 700 PCs look awfully attractive. But adding a UPS is somewhat down the line of priorities I agree. I bought a UPS a couple of years after my PC. Paid 3000 for the PC and then with software, modems, sound cards, printers etc etc I was in mood for adding another $150 for a UPS to the 5000 bundle. Short sighted true but I suspect many people think the same. That's why APCC keeps up the pressure with their marketing plans. However I have noticed that the UPSes have come down a lot in price recently. So maybe they too have hit the right price point to make them attractive enough for consumers? Balk at $150 but willing to pay $80... Shane.
