    Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    Somebody explain to me how a $6K fuel-cell backup power system is better than...oh, I dunno....three $250 APC's hooked up in series?

    Yes, I'm sure it hurts to think about these things. Go back to Starbucks and the headaches will go away.

    Cheers,

    Can't wait till my friend the pyromaniac finds out about these things. He'll probably go down to the mall and pick up a few of the residental canisters then proceed to make his fourth of july antics look like a candle dropping in a bucket of water.
