[G4] APC UPS problem on OS X

[Tracker at aol.com]

I agree with Brooks. I have installed switched power manager equipment 
between my UPSes and the wall outlet expressly to avoid the "no ground 
connection" hazard.

The power managers allow me to selectively power up different sections of my 
work benches for different pieces of equipment when needed, but still 
maintain the UPS with power on for the computer, monitor, and external hard 
drives.

I don't always need power to my hot glue gun, flatbed scanner, desk fan, 
radio, etc., and the power manager lets me power up from one location when I 
want. I don't have to get out of my chair to go to the other end of the work 
bench where the wall switches are.
