Dear Scott,

     Oh dahn, I didn't know that. That IS a probelm, isn't it.
However, at my Network, I use fairy robust outlets. Buuuuuut,
I will keep my eye on them. We use hoovering quite a lot.
BTW Scott, my UPSes are working all right because of you.
Thanks very much. I intentionally pulled a plug off the outlet
and beauty the BkPro started working in a hundredth of a sec.
That is grand. Thanks again.
     I thougt you were saying cleaner would hoover UPSes entirely
into its tummy!!!!!! hahahha
