You might be interested in hearing that the only person I know still using an
Apple II to make a living is using a ROM 3 with a UPS. Stan's in the interior

some part of his computer every few months. Then I suggested a UPS about
a year and a half ago. Haven't had to fix anything since.

Active is likely the best in Vancouver. RP Electronics is pretty good too. The
nice thing about RP is they handle some used and surplus parts but for that
