Anybody Else See Anything Wrong with this Concept?

Well, you DO have a couple of gerbils in a treadmill that provide emergency back-up for your computer's power supply just in case, don't you? I thought EVERYONE did.

Well, laptops have batteries, but the cable modems would be out. Only people with dial-up could connect without a UPS.

What's the problem? Are you dense? The message is clear as a bell.
They don't give a hairy rat's ass about you and if you don't like it, shop somewhere else.

The message is have a laptop with fully charged batteries available at all times and a fall back, dial-up connection available. If the phone lines are down, too, you're on your own.
