Another thing I forgot to mention is that my UPS makes a clicking sound when I turn
my HP LaserJet 4M Plus printer on--it's quite old, about 10 years, I think, and I
bet it consumes a ton of power. I just might have to upgrade.
The printer is hooked up to a different outlet, but in the same room and on the same
circuit breaker. When I turn it on, I bet the voltage drops and the UPS kicks in
to boost it. This is probably not too good for the computer--I don't know for sure,
but APC's site says the clicking sound is from the relay doing either a voltage boost
(makes sense) or a voltage trim (higly unlikely).
