Hehheh.  What a nice, heartwarming story to come back to after spending 6
hours out in the field flogging modems at access points (most of that time
was spent commuting) :-)

Ah, yes, those lovely Utah winters that require a space heater in the
office.  If it got that cold here, I'd want a UPS for my space heater. too.
And of course, we don't want the office beer getting cold in summer, so we
probably really need one for the fridge, too :-)
