'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe

Oddly enough it's the older computers I've used that fall over at the slightest power glitch. An old 386 or 486 would reboot given even a momentary flicker of the lights, while the current rig doesn't care about the occassional several-second brownouts here. Then again the current rig has a much better (and very overrated) power supply with a universal input.
