Reports of My Demise

Are more exaggerated than reports of the demise of my computer. Not long after my last update, my machine started getting into rather unproductive iterative re-boot loops. Hal is in the process of setting me up with a spare system while mine is diagnosed (or not) -- subsequent weirdness suggests that the problem may have something to do with having too-old versions of Adobe Acrobat, but WTF, yanno? Anyway, for a little while yet, my web and e-mail access may be a bit limited, except when and as I have time to post from work.
