my computer is old enough that the front panel connections are not charged.

i should take advantage of that.

i haven't seen any reboots yet, but these random network drivers keep reappearing, and my machine went into hibernation tonight when it shouldn't have. the only way i can make sense of that is if somebody installed a wireless operating system in the firmware of my external drive, which is bafflingly obsessive, but this is just persistent over time...
