Right, like that hit a lot of people. Only a small part of southern
Sweden was hit. I didn't even hear about it until a few days later.

A friend of mine works at a supercomputer center. He's had three power
outages at work, during the last few years. Which is *very* much too often
in this part of the world.

During the same period, the UPS has caused unexpected downtime five times.

And these guys spend hundreds of thousands euros on their UPS.
