What, you mean there's another kind of UPS? That's all you can get down here
in Australia.
I could only afford the guinea-pig-400 though (we call hamsters guinea pigs
down here... don't ask I don't know...) but I'm told those 400 little critters
can run for quite a while.
Had I realised you could get UPS's without guinea pigs in them I would have
shopped around a little more. I mean these guys certainly do their work,
but cleaning out the cage every day is a real pain...
Cheers,
Kim.
