Write on the blackboard 10^10000000 times:

"EVERY computer needs an uninterruptible power supply. EVERY one."

There are so many problems of which you might not be aware, aside from those requiring you to run fsck afterwards, which are solved by a good u.p.s. that you'd be penny-wise, pound-foolish for not putting a u.p.s. on every machine in sight.

My clients think that I can walk on water simply because I eliminated a large share of unexplainable wierdnesses from their machines by installing an inexpensive u.p.s. on every single one.

Solid, clean power is very important to a stable computing system. I cannot stress this enough.
