How long can you continue to use the computer after a black out?

Long enough to safetly turnoff the computer yourself or have it automatically turn off.

Is there a inexpensive product out there that will let me continue posting here if I lose power?

Get a generator. I have nonstop power with it. Six gallons of gas last 12 hours and can power nearly my whole home.

I was hoping for some kind of battery that would get me through an evening.

Depends on how widespread the power outage is. Even a generator won't help you if the power is out wherever your gateway is located.

You're better off with a smartphone and a data plan, though even that has the same limitations.

Actually if you have a smartphone you can post without a computer and do most all your business your computer does except for word processing, some programs, and video games.

Get a smart phone

I barely have time at work to check the outpost with my phone but thats cool

That one goes 4.5 minutes if you're drawing full power. 16 minutes at half power.
