I've got one you can borrow - but you'd need a heck of an extension cord to reach it here in Upstate NY.So far I am in the dark for 3 hrs with no power. Socal edison says its a major outage with 3 cities affected. My poor farm is doing nothing. Oh yeah and they said they have no idea when it will be back up due to equiptment failure. Bah, should have stayed at work.
Atleast I got my cell tethered to my laptop for oc forum goodness.
. (I was using my P4 to crunch SETI during the outage). 
Generators can be a bad Idea for computers (at least the little gasoline hondas are). There was a power outage at my folks house a number of years ago that lasted a week. (my grandfather the genius (or idiot that he was) hooked up a generator directly up to the circuit breaker to power the living room circuit. He said he did it in such a way that if power came back on that nothing would explode. Other than the fact that he was right and nothing exploded when the power came back on, my power conditioning UPS died a day before the power came back on
I can't imagine what the dirty power would do to a computer connected directly to the generator.
