I really hate this brown outs.

Here in India it is a regular feature which we call load shedding. I have a Home UPS which takes care of our tv, lights, fans and also the computer. Sometimes myLot plays up and to take care of that the moment I type I copy it, so I can paste it if my earlier effort has gone kaput!

Luckily, we have not experienced any fluctuation with the electricity. But sometimes, it is the internet provider that goes off. Well, it doesn't last long, just a few second of being out of service then it's fine. It is really annoying that just about I hit submit, then I get disconnected. But atleast it is just when doing discussions or chatting at Facebook. It could be really a bug turn off if I was in the middle of a meeting for an online collaboration! That has happened to me before, and everytime it happens, I really feel ashamed coz my boss might think that I am such a poor person that could not afford to have a good internet connection!I was then using Sun Cellular's Plug in Broadband. It no longer allowed me to use Skype. And so I have changed my internet provider. Smart Wimax has faster connectivity and cleared video on Skype.

There has been a black out- a real one while i was mylotting... but then we cannot really do anything about it.. All we can do is just wait for the electricity to be fixed or something then spend the time thinking of something else that using he appliances.

I hate those kind of power interruptions. It is the kind that messes up electronic gadgets especially those that has to be plugged in all the time. I hate that everything's got to reset: the modem, TV, fax machine, fridge, DVD player, computers, etc.

Oh this is actually annoying! i haven't experience this but if this will happen to me I'm pretty sure I would feel the same way too. I usually usually use my laptop with full battery so I would not be affected any disturbance from brown outs..lol Thanks for sharing and have a great day

No I have not had any brown outs, here where I live, I know this has got to be bad when your power goes out and you have to wait for it to come back on, when my power goes out it means, some one here hasn't paid, the cable bill.

Yes, it's so annoying I also experienced this situation and that really irritates me. I can't post or write the same message/response again- I mean, sometimes if my reply is too long I can't retype the whole content again

hi stanley, It happened in the past to me I am really mad that time cause I am doing mylot and I am making a lengthy one then suddenly there was a power cut. So what I did I write it first on ms words if ever there is a power interruption I can still recovery what I write. happy mylotting

I am saving lots of money so kind afford a solar energy system, not only to help mother nature, save money and last but not the least, to avoid energy shortage. Just like you I hated blackouts and brownouts with a passion, specially when its boring because you have no electricity and most of the modern day entertainment relies on electricity and also when its summer and its very hot, its hard to sleep without air conditioner or electric fan.

I noticed that brownouts are frequent here in our country especially this summer? I wonder why? In my case, when there is a brownout and when electricity resumes, I can open the recently closed tab for me to do my thing that I am doing in the computter before the power interruption.
