[Ubuntu-US-CA] Meeting Tomorrow (3/6)

[Grant Bowman]

I second Troy's recommendation.  I highly recommend http://www.apc.com
brand but make sure to get a more expensive one with AVR or "active
voltage regulation" such as the RS line.  I think the smallest one is
the BR500 with a list price of $109.99.  I'm sure you can get them
cheaper elsewhere.
