[amayausers] UPS

To all,
There seems to be questions from time to time on battery backup supplies so I 
did some testing.  I have an APC 500, which I think I purchased for about $70, 
for my single  Amaya and computer that runs it.  I tested with a 4700 stitch 
design.  As soon as the design started I pulled the main plug.  Everything ran 
normal for thirty seconds then the computer auto shut down.  The Amaya kept 
running and finished the design which took five minutes.  I finally shut the 
machine off at the six minute mark.  At this time I don't know how much longer 
the machine would have sewn, but I do know it will sew at least six minutes off 
my battery.
After I recharged the battery I turned on only the computer and pulled the UPS 
plug.  The computer ran for three minutes and fifteen seconds then auto shut 
down.
Moral of the story: the computer requires allot more power than the Amaya.
I hope this information is of some use to those with questions.  I know it 
answered some of mine.
