doug> I got an idea for a WLUG talk, having trolled the SW-devel-mail-list
and used sparingly the excellent APC-UPS free sw at http://www.apcupsd.com

I've got a small-enough APC SmartUPS and a laptop or 2 I could do this on.

What I don't have (or can't yank out of the lab here at work)
    COULD USE....dont really NEED:
    ....an APC UPS with the more modern USB port....reasonably small.

(the SW supports serial/"COM1" cable/interface, or USB/HID...
  I'm very weak on the HID stuff, but it probably just works.)

So this lure is to see who does have apc w/usb...
    and wants to try-and-or-demo this. 
and
When's the june meeting ? (I forget what month the party is.)
