This is the second time I've written today's entry. Smoke started coming out of my palm top (what I write this on) during the first time. I lost everything that was in main memory, but was able to restore some of it from my memory card. Things seem to be working again, but I'm sure how long it's going to last, or if I'm going to be able to update the journal often (among other things I lost the drivers from my disk drive - so it's back to serial cable transfers).
