Where'd MR go last night??

[matrixrefugee]

To everyone I was IM'ing last night, and wondered why I suddenly disappeared: I wasn't having computer troubles, though at first that's what I thought it was (since it's been especially pissy lately, probably since it knows its days with me are numbered...). Nope! It was a rolling black out that hit the area, due to the high winds that have roared in. The power came on this morning, thank goodness (which is obviously why I'm able to type this now).

Adds to the list of computer gadgets I need: One uninterruptable power source (one of those boxes that you plug the comp into and then into the wall socket, so that you get enough time to save your work and shut down the machine).

Your comp just shuts off if the power goes? Evvvilll PCs...if the power goes kaput with my machine, it switches to a battery back-up so you can save your work, etc. That's for a laptop- I *think* it's the same case with a desktop model, I seem to recall it being so.
You're getting your Mac soon...just keep chanting that to yourself...
