Are you in the States? I'm in the UK and powercuts are almost unheard of AT THE MOMENT. But we keep getting dire warnings that our generation is going down, while demand is going up, and they are on the verge of crossing ... Dunno what's going to happen then, but we tend to get trips and cuts, not brownouts, so we could be in for a nasty shock in the not too distant future :-( Cheers, Wol
