Re: Why do we use facilities with EPO's?

[Jerry Pasker <jerry () jerry org>]

I've always wondered who died or was injured and caused the EPO to 
come in to existence.  There have been lots of "EPO caused downtime" 
stories, but does anyone on the NANOG list even have one single 
"Thank God for the EPO" story?  I'll feel better about the general 
state of the world if I know that the EPO actually has a real valid 
use that has been ACTUALLY PROVEN IN PRACTICE rather than just in 
someone's mind.

has the irrational fear about the jumper on the "EPO terminal strip" 
inside his UPSes coming undone.
