Randomness

My computer and I got in a fight today.. I said "yes," and it said "no" so it crashed on me. I just knew it was laughing at me as it restarted; it knew it had won this round. I threatened it with physical abuse- throwing the harddrive down the stairs, impaling the monitor with a broomstick, etc. It just kept laughing at me! It knew I'd never go through with it; we'd both lose that way. As I restarted all my programs, cursing my inability to save at decent intervals, my computer started slowing down... wayyyy down. It wanted to crash again! "Fine! I'll just install Linux!" It hasn't given me any trouble since...
