I'd run my system on a generator...but I have a small UPS too, to put
between the computer and generator.

RoadRunner didn't come back until 2 hours after the power was back, so
even with a UPS, I'd be offline.

Many businesses have backup generators around here, either as fallout
from Y2K or because lots of weird power stuff happens (thunderstorms,
ice storms, etc.) and it makes sense.
