I like spontaneity in relationships, but this is a little overboard. Ok, so I was opening one of the twelve Photoshop posters I’ve made today for my project due tomorrow, and my computer suddenly rebooted itself. No warning. Just a black screen and a RAM check. It seems all right now, but there’s something kind of frightening about machines doing things like this. I built this PC nearly two years ago, and it’s been very good to me, but it’s kind of like a friend or family member breaking trust once. Even with years of a good track record, one breach can put a rift in a relationship that takes time to heal.

And besides the philosophical angle, which is probably due to too little sleep, too little real food, and way too many cheap, syrupy beverages, there’s the simpler question of why…

Is it just a weird power supply, or is something fundamentally wrong with my hardware? It’s not like I can take it back to myself and get a replacement…

I have my eye on a 17″ Powerbook. They don’t do weird things like this, right?
