The power is out. I work at home. There's remarkably little useful stuff I can do without a working computer.

And I must have something set up incorrectly with the UPS, because it beeped when the power went out, but the computer died immediately.

If you take your laptop to a coffee shop, can you bill your employer for the coffee? :-)

I remember seeing Glen Campbell on the Johnny Carson show. He talked about growing up in a house that had no electricity. "We had to watch TV by candlelight." Carson came back with a crack about Campbell's "kerosene guitar."

Plugged into the "surge suppressor" side rather than the "battery backed" side?

Like, err..., mine is?

Check the battery

If it's not plugged in right... The battery could be old.

How old is the UPS? When was the last time you verified the battery? I have had a UPS die - it helps to test them every once in a while.
