[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1043588, member: 56379"] What has always irritated me about UPS's (at least the one's I've purchased...including APS) has been the CD-ROM that's included that has Windows only compatible software on it. So I know that as a Macintosh user I must be missing out on something!:( So it's good to know that the Mac OS now has (and maybe since Leopard) contains some software to help out!:) Yeah...1 or 2 of my UPS's have that DB9 port...but I never investigated it further since the CR-ROM software wasn't installable (Windows only)...and I didn't know that the Mac OS had any software to "talk" with the UPS. As far as the $60-$80 bucks for the replacement battery. I was mostly just teasing!;) Most of us know that when it comes to our computer "stuff"...$60-$80 is not very much. Heck...the average decent computer or PS3 game costs $50 bucks, and Blu-Ray DVD's cost what $30 bucks. I will have to check out my local Batteries+ to see how much they're charging when I need a replacement battery...and I will definitely make sure that the next UPS I purchase has a USB port. Thanks for all the info, - Nick [/QUOTE]
