Yeah maybe it was overheating ?! ;) Could be... I am not sure... but the following happened as well that day...: "Web browser hang", "Web browser crashed because I had to shutdown IE". I had many many webbrowsers open. I started the browser again. The browser asked if I wanted to restore the sessions. I WAS LIKE "YES I WANT TO RESTORE THEM REALLY BADLY" because I just spent a lot of time googling them together ! ;):) The internet connection went into overdrive... refetching all the websites at once... and apperently the cable modem as well... Lot's of TCP connections going at it... So maybe that had something to do with it... (ubee cable modem, it has openings on top so dust could fell in...) Bye, Skybuck.

That reminds me of a funny cartoon, which I'll have to describe since I don't have an image of it handy. Picture Wonder Woman and Shazam sitting on the couch in the Marriage Counselor's office. A visibly perturbed, and ungratified Wonder Woman turns to the doctor and says... "Then all of the sudden, he shouts 'Shazam', and that's it for the night!"
