[ale] APC UPS at Sams :P (1100VA for $118)

[jb at sourceillustrated.com (John Wells)]

Thanks for the link.  I just bought one of the APC BackUPS over the
weekend and was really worried when I couldn't find APC management
software fo r linux via USB, since almost all of your information comes
from this link.

Speaking of BackUPS, anyone know why these are cheaper than the standards
ACP ups?  At Office Depot, I got a 750VA BackUPS for $20 *cheaper* than
the equivalent 500VA standard UPS.  Doesn't make sense, unless the BackUPS
are missing certain functionality.

Thanks!

John
