commonplace nowadays. After moving house a few years ago, less than a |
| 11 |
mile, I experienced random hardware failures; hard disks, motherboard, |
| 12 |
even two 22" monitors (fortunately still in warranty). I suspected bad |

power and, touch wood, everything has been reliable since fitting a UPS. |
