You just gave me a wonderful idea, thank you!! Westek (AmerTac Company)
makes plug wireless with a wall switch.
I can plug the UPS into it, and plug it wherever he likes. Then I can screw
the wall switch somewhere slightly hidden so it doesn't look "terrible" to him.
I am on my way out the door to do just that!
Thanks again, and I guess this thread can die now.
