You should REALLY REALLY use a UPS with a surge protector in it. Eu is 
useless to you if the hardware gets fried. They are in the ballpark of  
$100USD, and are the cheapest, most cost effective insurance you can 
have. They have saved my electronics and my programming code WAY too 
many times to count. Proper computer use is to plug it into a UPS when you 
get the computer home, install a firewall, and *only then* do you go online.

Besides, it makes the neighbors wonder about you when the power for the 
whole county goes out, and your sterio didn't skip a note. 

And save things when you make a significant or difficult or Eureka! change to 
any code. Mycode1.e, mycode2.e, mycode3.e, etc.
