Yesterday, for maybe a second and a half, my power went out. I only had to set one clock (so far), and I don’t think I lost any unsaved data, but I couldn’t get in to find out because of the “no operating system” error. I’ve had that before, and, given enough time, it goes away. But in case it doesn’t do so fast enough, I thought I’d better prepare this backup. If it comes back in time, I’ll post my original plan and you’ll never see this.<\/p>\n
