Thanks to American Power Conversion (APC) who helped in giving technical information on their UPSes.

A special thanks to APC who gave me (Riccardo) a Smart UPS 1400 INET when my old Back UPS v/s 650's battery died. Thank you guys, your help has been invaluable.

Thanks to all the users that send bug reports and suggestions: we need your help.

Thanks to every one I forgot here. If you feel I have forgot your name, please don't hesitate to tell me.
