Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

The power doesn't really even have to "go out" to cause a problem.  
Where I live, the power very frequently has "dips", in which all the 
lights in the house will dim significantly for a few seconds.  It's 
pretty nasty on anything and everything electronic.  I've lost two 
TV's to these dips.

So the bottom line for me is that it DOESN'T take an incredible 
coincidence for the power to cause a problem during the "10 second 
window".  :)  

In addition to the computers, my entire synth rig is on UPS.  It is 
WAY too cheap not to have that insurance.  Simple surge protectors do 
not suffice as protection against the power dips and outages.
