coincidence?\
NrrrrrrrraaaaaaaH!!!
My mainframe session crashed and I lost 50 lines of code... like 1/4 of my program. Darn COBOL

To paraphrase a certain long-time mayor, save early and often. I usually wind up saving about every two lines of code. Crazy, I know, but I've been bit too many times.... And I'm on a PC using C++ and C#. All it takes is a little flicker of the lights and *poof*.
A decent UPS is only ~$200 or so and it saves you so many headaches!
Nah, I didnt lose power. A UPS device would be nice for when I don't have extreme super reliable power. The campus makes its own power, and all the cables are buried. Its pretty sweet, only one power outage Last year (maintenance at the plant), and I bet this year will be flicker free. Add a huge pipe to the net, and Im golden. Darn mainframe!!!!

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
