I agree with all Darrell says, except possibly this last point. If
you leave TMG running while you are away from your computer (and what
"typical" user doesn't leave it running all the time <g>) then I
would think it better to have the automated shutdown feature.

By "away from your computer" I mean out of the house, where you would
not realize an outage had occurred or are too far away to get back to
shut down your computer before the UPS battery is exhausted.
