RE: OFF TOPIC: 2-prong outlets

Yeah - there was an article in a recent EM - I don't remember what the 
article was about but I do remember the recommendation that a UPS is 
better 
than something like a standard power condition.  The argument was that the 
power is cleaned up by virtue of always running off the batteries.  In 
other words, when you use a UPS, you don't get power direct from the grid 
- 
you get the power after it's been stored in the battery so you get a 
constant voltage, etc.  Any truth to that?
