all it takes is a second. a second! a second of losing electrical power and the PC shuts down and starts all over again! good thing opera and firefox have "restore last session" functions. but thats only minor stuff. that split second could damage your hard drive! actually, i think it does but you dont see it until you get several seconds of abrupt switching on and off have happened. why cant it just rain without affecting the power lines or the power itself. i think its more of the power lines or the thunder. shit. better switch the PC off. the thunder's getting louder and louder. might interrupt the power and i have to undergo that error check again
