I'm glad I waited a few seconds instead of responding immediately to
songbird's input. This is a purchase on my own to-do that I
occasionally even remember is needed..

What you said there about power going on and off a few times within
minutes.. That killed a forgotten something once a LONG time ago.

I think it was that it [borked] the code so badly that I had to
reinstall... or something.  I don't remember hardware getting fried,
just [code]. Maybe it was even "that other" operating system or
something, i.e. not Linux. ? :)

Whatever it was that happened, I now tell my BIOS to NO, DO *NOT* keep
trying to come back up if a power failure completely shuts it down at
some point. That's from having seen the lights and thus power flicker
on and off some 4, 5, 6, 7 times within a 2 or 3 minute timespan. My
memory is yelling that I've possibly even heard the computer grunting
and groaning while trying to keep up with that outside interference.
