I was just reading a news item in Science about the restoration of the
Mount Stromlo Observatory in Australia, after it was largely destroyed by
a massive brushfire three years ago. Staff and grad students went back to
work in the surviving buildings soon after the disaster, but not before
technicians had installed generators... and a microwave link. "We could
do without toilets, and we could bring in our own water, but we had to
have Internet."
I've heard from several people that have spouses or kids with laptops that
the first thing you hear from them during a power failure is, "The internet
is broken". Time to install a UPS on the cable/DSL modem and wireless
router. ;-)
