Transformers
no, not the action figure type. i’m referring to those things that . . . i’m not even sure what they do, really. all i know is that they have something to do with electrical power.
off and on for the past week, we haven’t had power in any room but the living room and dining room, and it has nothing to do with ComEd. it has everything to do with "ABCD Management," our landlord. meanwhile, the fridge and other major appliances are plugged into power strips and extension cords running through our apartment.
today, ABCD Management had an electrician (non-union, i’m sure) replace the transformer. luckily, the power was only out for about 2 hours. they’ve finished the job, but i’m still not totally convinced there won’t be any more problems. good thing i had already saved my current game on Xbox the other night when the power went out.

All right! At least you know where your priorities lie!
Have you seen that new XBox that is coming out? It kind of looks like a computer “tower.” I read that they are even going to have a 1/2 hour infomercial for the new XBox. Better save your money!

I have a battery UPS for my gaming needs. If the power goes out, I have about 45 minutes to save my game. There are really cheap battery strips out there that will give you 5 or 10 minutes. It all depends on how valuble your game progress is for you.
