A moment of Gottadeal Panic

[brynnfromtheblock]

Our power goes out quite frequently here and today it went out 3 times for a couple of minutes each.... The last time it did I couldn't get the computer to come back on. I turned everything off, nothing. The monitor was on but said it was receiving no info. I had a moment of panic thinking my computer can't die now, BF is coming!!! Luckily took all the plugs out of the wall and let it sit a while and it came back up. Last year our cable went out a week before BF and didn't come back up for a while after, I had to go to my mom's to get my Gotta Deal fix!! So now I'm sitting here making copies of all the digital pictures that I haven't backed up in the last couple of months...

Oh wow, thankfully it came back on for ya! It would traumatize me if I lost any of my daughters' pics!!!

I've had that happen to me, but the pics didn't come back. I was so upset. Thankfully it ended well with you

Personally, I use a UPS, but to each his own.

Another good solution and considerably cheaper.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

 

It is a battery backup for your computer.

Speaking of a UPS, I need to look for one for my home computer.
