that the heck are you talking about? the last time rolling blackouts were a very plausible occurence was back in 2001, when I was a junior in HS. I remember the power went out due to rolling blackouts during finals and I recall my class conducted in emergency lights because of it.

as for regular happenings of blackouts, I haven't heard anything about it...otherwise, i would hear it for sure on the news...either that or you just live in a crappy area

Yeah but some of thoose give your enough time to check some thing before closing down. I think there is one who gives you 15 min or so.

It would be intresting if I could get a "alternate power source" and use it whenever the power get's out. Thought I probably won't need one, unless war happens...

I hate it when the power goes off while I'm on the computer. I was beating someone in AoE on Zone. The "You are victorious" came up and then...BOOM, off goes the monitor and everything around.

Its even worse when you're in the bathroom.

That gameboy thing happend with my GBA SP. I was playing alot of Ruby on my GBA SP, and I was doing that beuty contest thing. Which took some time.

When I was finished with that I saved my game... and my GBA SP decided to turn itself off becuse of the low batteries.

Thankfully Ruby has some sort of Backup system, it said a error message that the file have been corrupted and it's loading a old file. I lost alot of progress, but better than starting from scratch.

And now I always load the batteries on that GBA SP whenever the lamp is red...
