I agree. The cheapest ones are only $40 now, and give you 2-3 minutes
(the cheap ones do -- more money = more time) after a failure. That's
all I paid, and it will autosave any open files before shutting down if
you aren't around when the power goes out. After losing a whole hard
drive after a half-second power interruption I will never let that
happen again...
