:-)

and we on the other hand have replaced say 20 out of 20 smart ups1000,
1100 in say 3 yrs

        - some folks like name brand .. it's their $$$$ down the drain
        and data loss ... which also has occurred there, but it will take
        time before the corporate boat can turn to use other options
        from companies-i(we)-never-heard-of ups

        - good or bad thing is that you can buy spare batteries for APC
        which may or may not be the case for other brands
                - is that a good or bad sign ??
                - other vendors do or don't have "battery" problems??

- trick question is what is the purpose of the ups
        - brown outs ?

        - surge surpressors ?

        - 5min or 30min or 1hr+ of uptime when the city has gone black
          from the backhoe down the street  or the local power-utilities
          employee pulling the wrong breakers

        - how good is the battery backup at the "data centers"
