RE: *** ADMIN: Scheduled downtime this weekend ... new UPS changed to WIKIPEDIA for consumer goods

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As another longtime system i shop in Chicagoland, they have our support too.  Which brings up the question, how about a wikipedia entry for iSeries shops that make or sell consumer goods?
If so, I'd like to add ECHO OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT which manufactures the equipment in Lake Zurich, Illinois...

I have 3 Tripplite power strips in the computer room (the 5' long jobs 
with about 20 outlets).  A couple of years ago 1 of them started acting 
funny, the little red LED began blinking like a strobe.  I called 
Tripplite to see what I should do.  Their immediate response was that 
the LED itself was the problem, not anything electrical in the outlets. 
  They overnighted a replacement, no questions asked.  I took the old 
one home and put it in my workshop.

They definitely have my support.
