All better now? (The Age) -- "Modern PCs are robust but they do go wrong. Considering the complexity of today's computer systems, this happens less often than you might expect. Even so, sooner or later you will find yourself staring at a blank screen, struggling with a program that refuses to function as expected or coping with some other puzzling technical problem. How do you get things working again?" (Comments: Thanks Daniel Szuc.)

Why is the green bar at the top of the page on June 8 promoting an Ebay auction for the Cowboy Bebop DVD box set that expired on June 5?

I've learned to expect daily crashes from IE 5.5 on Windows 2000. Are they suggesting I should expect even more? ;)

Crashes? With RAID hard drives, multiple continuous backups and peer-to-peer recoverable OSes?

Oh wait. We're just pretending it's the 21st century.

I believe all these unusual crashing is from the clutter people install on their computers, from fancy desktop themes to mysterious executables people receive in their emails.

Ooh. Call me crazy but if your memory is popping out because it's overheating then cooling, you have a bigger problem happening... add a couple 'o fans in the case, its easy as hell.
