Hi Bazz, BB> Thanks, we had a really rediculous situation here (in Auckland) a few BB> years ago where ther entire Central Business District BB> of our largest city was without power for about 4 BB> months!! One of our buildings is in the Auckland CBD but we were on the right side of the road and still had power (from the Ponsonby Substation).......;-) We had the power co. asking if they could "rent" our 3 x 1.1MW Emergency Generators, but it was not possible to synchronize them to the Power Grid without spending big money. Central Auckland was kept alive by one of the large Container boats remaining birthed and usings its Generators to power the city, I think it was there for about 7 weeks... We could have easily sold each "spare" desk for around $5,000 per week, but all desks had already been taken.........;-) Cheers............pk. --- Maximus/2 3.01* Origin: === Maxie BBS.
