I hear ya.  I actually have a UPS here, so it sorta makes more sense,
especially if I could have got the taps for $50/each.  My home is also
my office, though, so that also almost convinces me.  I think the best
argument that would be made is, "How much beer can I get with the money
I save by not buying a tap".  I'm convinced ;).
