On or about: 07-28-06  00:38, Russell Tiedt did engage James Bradley
regarding, but not limited
to: UPS:PCI "Boot>" prompt

 JB> This time, it worked the *right* way around. 

 RT> Yipheee ... 

I'm hoping that Murphy doesn't hear me.

 RT> Ah ... :-(

Win some, and use immature, experimental modules for the rest. 
 
 JB> We takes what we can get. Glad to hear the health is better!

 RT> Thanks ... :-)

Cheers!

 RT> Not bad, coul d use one of them ...

I think I've seen two or three Triplites in all my time attending the
government auction, but the
rest are APCs. It's odd, but I'm sure most of those are not troubleshoot
once a battery doesn't
bring them back to life. Mind you, the parts that protect the fuse are
likely too costly to replace. 
 
 JB> ships them over seas.

 RT> Yeah, just that the Congo 15000 + km's north north west of here ...

Like my offer earlier, stuff would likely go missing before it made half
the trip overland.
Imagine, a thief twice as stupid as the government that spec'ed Compaq, IBM, and APC?

Maybe I live in a glass house here, but I've had a Compaq sitting on my
front stoop for most of
the summer, and SMP servers - since I bought them - sitting under my balcony.
