[Leica] Computer Problems

[sonc.hegr at gmail.com (Sonny Carter)]

After we moved to our new house in 2020, a storm took out our electricity
for several days. It was dang hot, and I nearly ran out of power on my
wheelchair.  Fortunately we have gas stove so we could cook and get hot
water.  We then had a whole house genset installed.  I put backups on my
modems, computer, satellite, and tv set.

On several occasions it has proven to be a very wise move.  Power goes out
even while we?re watching a movie and it just keeps on playing.  No reboots
of the satellite, no restarts on the computer.  The air conditioner starts
right up and keeps on humming. Life is good.

Sonny.
