I didn’t hear the friendly rattling of the disk, I didn’t see the screen’s colours came back to life. So Precious had been sleeping all night and as I opened the lid, nothing happened. Let’s call it Precious, for the sake of simplicity, since it is called Precious. It all started when I opened the lid of my computer. It’s only today I learnt what it was, and how to fix (and boy do I pray I don’t have to do that again). In fact my powerbook G4 started to experience it yesterday morning. I like it but it sounds obviously too serious, not at all the same spirit as the names in the list above. Which made me think of Jean Grey who is Phoenix in the XMen comics.
