[ILUG] UPS for home use?

[ILUG] UPS for home use?

See if you can track down an old 486 laptop. The battery should keep the
thing alive for a couple of hours.

I picked up a Toshiba T1910 for 1 pint recently. (I know, I was ripped
off). With only 4Mb it takes about 10 minutes to start X but for a
server/firewall something like that should do the trick. I maintained an
uptime of 48 hours on it which included carting it into work and home
again. Then I realised I needed to get out more.

Have fun!

Peter
