So I'm sitting in a comfy folding chair, iBook in lap, and the power starts to flicker. I pulled the AC adapter out & waited it out. Currently, the only light in the house is from the screen. :-) The AEBS is on a UPS, so I'm still typing, although I was about to leave the house for a few minutes anyway. Not sure how long the UPS will hold up, but I love my laptop! -- Larry Kollar k o l l a r @ a l l t e l . n e t "The hardest part of all this is the part that requires thinking." -- Paul Tyson, on xml-doc
