"TZZZZK... ZOIIIIIIIIII... BEEP"... the puter suddenly rebooted. I hadn't done anything and I remembered Don had the same problem not too long ago. I immediately started thinking "Now there is a moth in the fan, or Don has simply sent HIS version of the San Juan worm... the kind of worm Norton hasn't picked up on yet."Then I didn't think more about it until a minute ago... when suddenly "TZZZZK"... with the difference that there were no "ZOIIIIIIIII" and "BEEP" following it. I tried to start it up... no result. The computer was DEAD AS A STONE!!! The lamp beside me worked, the speakers were on... it wasn't a blackout.Thoughts started spinning... Teresa is going to England for a week, bringing her laptop. Not only would I be computerless. No, worse... I would be VFB-LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This wasn't going to be fun. I would get far more "free time" than I wanted.Then, just as I was about to start crying, I noticed... the plugs for the lamp and the speakers were in another socket. I tried to start the laser printer, which was powered from the same as the PC... and it was dead. With my foot I flicked the plug in the wall... and both the PC and the printer came alive again.Guess if I got relieved!!! (And I imagine you're sighing now... "Sooo close!!!")/Nick
