Nice.

What a lovely stable operating system we use ;-)

Yes, it's on a 2.2KVA UPS which is running a firewall and a server box,
and looks to have a runtime of about an hour - the longest the power has
been off is about 40 minutes, and the shortest outage was for the meter
swap (they swapped a big black electricity meter with the spinny disk for
a little white plastic thing that looks like a central heating programmer
and has a flashing LED on - it flashes quite fast when I fire up the VAX
:-)
