My bad.<BR/><BR/>A UPS is short for Uninterrupted Power Supply. It is like a big battery that you plug into your outlet at home and then your computer plugs into the battery. If the power goes out, the battery kicks in simultaneously so your computer keeps getting its electricity without interruption.<BR/><BR/>Here is a link to a short essay on these devices and they actually talk about Macs on this one:<BR/>http://www.thesmallest.com/lessonettes/ups-indepth.html<BR/><BR/>The biggest name in the game is APC (American Company). Here is a link to a page in which you can look up dealers in Argentina.<BR/><BR/>http://www.apc.com/buy/index.cfm<BR/><BR/>You are going to need a desktop model. Just keep in mind that you are going to want to have not only your CPU plugged in but your monitor as well (in case you have a G4 or G5 if you have an iMAC then you only need one plug).<BR/><BR/>This is an important point since it only comes with one cable so you might want to buy an additional cable. Basically you are going to need to tell them how much power consumption your computer has or if you tell them what you plan on plugging into the UPS they can calculate which size you will need.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340834139819735298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-39996992006336951762007-05-08T18:12:00.000-07:002007-05-08T18:12:00.000-07:00Oh Frank, thanks so much for the suggestion, but1)...Oh Frank, thanks so much for the suggestion, but<BR/>1) what is it?<BR/>and,<BR/>2) where can I get one quick?<BR/><BR/>Besos,<BR/>Cherietangocheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012220622641996877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23522785.post-51097768384429526962007-05-07T08:55:00.000-07:002007-05-07T08:55:00.000-07:00Hi Cherie,You should also get an UPS.

I have a Mac at home and the UPS has been a lifesaver.<BR/><BR/>Saludos,<BR/>FrankAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05340834139819735298noreply@blogger.com
