My apologies in advance for further putting tension on this OT thread,
but one of the great stories from the early days of Usenet concerned a
really large UPS system for a data center. In the late 80s the Digital
Equipment Corp VAX computer was among the most powerful you could buy.
If you can accept that amount of time travel, follow this link:

or Google "vaxen immortal power"

The reference to October 19, 1987, is to the first computer failure to
have a major effect on the stock market.

Enjoy, as they say
