So I'm looking for a device (I'm fairly
certain I've seen these
before) that I plug into a wall outlet and it keeps a log of voltage
sags, brownouts and outages. Then I can use this to build a
reliability profile of my power company as raw data to compete with
their b.s. line that its never their fault when my power constantly
sucks.
Vertex (who were for a brief time authorized to distribute my XenoCopy)
had such a device. It had a walwart and connected to a PC.
Unfortunately, whenever there were power problems, it would crash and lose
all the data. Therefore, it should only be used on systems with no power
problems. Hmmm. wonder why it never caught on
