You could be right, but I'm still a bit suspicious. My system suddenly
rebooted itself twice before, a couple of weeks ago. Both times I was
working in TB, although I can't remember what I was doing at the time.
It's possible, I guess, that some other program I was using before TB
might have corrupted something in memory and the right keystrokes or
mouse click in TB caused something to go kaput. Anyway, it's weird and
just thought to mention it.
