No, a computer will be OK, with the AC completely cut. The BIOS settings are battery backed, and everything else is stored on the hard drive.

We've been having very strong winds here over the night and into today. Power lines are blowing down all over town. So I've cut the power to my computer and HT to keep them from seeing the cycling power and any possible surges as the load on the power grid fluctuates. So I'll see if my gear retains settings for several hours (my DVD player was on when I woke this morning, as it was without power for long enough to not remember what state is was supposed to be in).
