Did you know that if you're scanning documents and trying to edit 200mb files in photoshop and you have eleventy-billion tabs open (including mibbit), this computer will reboot itself without warning?
Aw man, that sucks ass. Computers hate when you actually accomplish something. Which would be why during the final production day on the final issue in newspaper last year, the computer decided to close InDesign just when I was trying to save the final version of my two-page spread.
It didn't lose any of my work, though. :] Like, I had to run a pre-scan again (get a low-res image of the entire scanner bed so I can crop and only scan the actual document to a file), but everything else was fine.

Still, most confusing.
