You make good points, Jimmie. But, we are recovering from a major storm, 24 hrs of power loss in some areas and effects of power surges on electronics. The power went out at midnight, so the UPS was overwhelmed, and the DSL internet system is failing as battery backup for the telephone repeater sites fails. I can only say that with paper we could keep going by flashlight if need by.
