While I was working this afternoon, the power failed briefly. (Unfortunately,
the blackout came while I was interviewing someone over the phone and typing
notes.) But my iMac restarted without a problem and no apparent damage.
However, my second monitor, an early Apple Cinema Display, hooked up with the
Apple converter, did not come back on line. When I examined the converter,
there was a puddle of fluid under it. I'm guessing there's a liquid cooled
transformer in there that blew its top. I know that back in the day,
transformer oil was dangerous stuff. I doubt that's true any more. I guess I'll
take it to the genius bar and see if they'll replace it. I don't know if I
still have a receipt, and it's probably three or four years old, but I would
think it shouldn't fail like that. Of course, the geniuses probably won't
agree.
