You have to have books! They save your sanity when the power is out or your ISP is down!

Agreed. Except now I can plug the 70W inverter in the cigarette lighter in the car and run an extension cord inside for the laptop and the cellphone (modem).

Haven't done it yet, but it might snow tonight and when it snows here the power usually goes out.

Don't leave the garage door closed while you run the motor, heat yourself up and post.

Could end badly.

We all have to get together (all 9 of us!) when the power goes off in the winter, unless it's warm like right now. Last thing I'd want is to be running the car in the garage ... we'd all be dead of carbon monoxide poisoning!

Thanks for the info! If I am ever fortunate enough to have a laptop and a car at the same time, I will remember to make sure the cigarette lighter receptacle is working, and that I have an adapter! ;o]
