[QUOTE="ClockworkWorld, post: 1181914, member: 182559"] I highly recommend a battery backup for anyone with an iMac. (Or any other desktop for that matter... ) Power went out once when I was nearly done with some stuff for work that had taken me nearly 5 hours to do. I had to start [b]all[/b] over again because even though I had saved before that point, it somehow wouldn't open my saved work after the power had come back, said it was corrupted. Bought a battery backup that night before going on. Ours lasts only 15 minutes. But that's 15 minutes after the power fails that we have to save what we were doing and shut it down right! [/QUOTE]
