A few bucks would pay off in the long run. My secretary is the one who usually gets caught. We do have a procedure in AS400 where we can F21 and save the information to file but then to continue we have to go through a few steps to get back to where we were. It's not always easy to remember to "save". I've been fusing at the tech people to put in a code to cause an automatic save of the data as one enters info. The database base is similar to dos but still not easy to use.

They vary in price depending on how long you think you need. I use the 1500 watt units but they are not cheap, about $600, however, I think the 650 watt are about $200 and you could talk to the salespeople and they can advise you on how long it will last before you need to shutdown. It sounds like you waste a lot of time if the brown out occurs when you are working and you loose your data.

I do not know what causes it. The local rumors are that the local power company is switching electricity from an area of "low use" to an area of "high use". This happens on a average of 2 to 3 times a week. My problem is when I'm working in the Farmers Insurance database "the input data" is not automatically saved until we finish the entry and "send" the data to Underwriting and then it's saved. Sometimes it takes 30 - 40 minutes to input one policy. When a brownout hits and I'm in the middle of inputting information into Farmers AS400 system (the world's worst software program), it's takes a lot of control to avoid saying words of angry. My office is located out here in the suburbs and the heavy users of electricity are those huge buildings in downtown Houston. At times I begin to think it's Enron employees practicing for another "Blackout" of power in California.

No problems except; here in this part of Texas we have "brownouts" or power surges about 2/3 times a week for only a minute or two and for some reason I lose the cable connection to Road Runner. I have found that if I turn off the computer (no power) and unplug the cable modem and unplug the router and wait 10 seconds and then turn every thing back on, my connection comes back up. I wonder if someone can explain why? The "brownouts" I do not understand either. Someone explained a few years ago that it was the power company making switches from one light use area into a heavy use area, but why the brownout. Or, Maybe it's Enron pulling their dirty tricks. :-) Carl ----- Original Message ----- From: Martha Bagwell To: pcductape@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 2:42 PM Subject: [pcductape] Re: Router I have one, Elaine.
