I'm hoping the FT950 will last me the rest of my life or til i win the lottery
and go nuts.

I've read people have had a problem with the FT950's dieing if the switch them
off at the power supply instead of turning the radio off by it's own switch
first, so that's made me a tad nervous, so I'm thinking about getting
a   WEST MOUNTAIN PG40S PWRGATE and protect it that way in case of power
failures, which thankfully don't happen too often here.  Right now I have my
power supply (Drake PS7) plugged in to the UPS with my computer, but I know if
I'm transmitting it would be way to much load for the UPS.
