hi all, i am new here so please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum but here goes -
the power has just gone out for the 4th time today...so i have lost most of the day's work dispite frequent save's and what not. my boss (who clams to be a good businessman) refuses to see my point that a UPS with save our hardware and alot of work/time. i have searched but can't seem to find any non-manufacurer/vender spcific data that could prove my arguement. i know that they help. we all know that they help. i have one at home. that's how much i beleive in protecting my data/hardware. but he sign's the check so he is the one that needs to be convinced. he is rather a tightwad (sp?) so getting money out him for anything is hard as heck. so i thought him being a "business man" and that he would understand numbers. ie. loss of work or redo work = time = money. verbal arguements have failed. so i guess my question: can anyone point me in the right direction or have a link to some sort of research (preferably credable althought at this point i'll settle for anything)??
thankx in advance for any help.

p.s. again, sorry if this is in the wrong forum....
