The other day my power went out so that I started one of my small generators (2,000 W) and intead of uning my 50" monitor and big power hungry comp I started to use my lap top.
Even if the power goes out and if you are connected by phone, land line, then you will still have the WWW.
For only $9.98 you should get NetZero.com as a back up.
