# George Erickson’s Ultimate Loading Solution: Batteries

UPDATES has devoted considerable space to improving loading speed convenience and dependability. Disk drives, stringy floppies, and fast load-type programs all contribute greatly to these critical factors.

[George Erickson](http://localhost/indiv/george-erickson/), a manufacturer’s representative for Canon micro floppy drives, hard disks, and other computer equipment, uses ZX PRO/FILE to maintain his sales data. Since last November, his Timex has been running non-stop thanks to a battery power system he developed. Even when an April blizzard left Erickson’s Ipswich, MA, community without power for over 24 hours, his files remained safe inside his computer.
