532653 2007-03-13 12:16:00 3rd one for the night just occured, but it only lasted like 30 seconds or so... just long enough to hibernate the laptop, and it came back on :-/

Keeps killing my wireless transfers Im trying to leave going all night, takes me a while to find all the different folders I wanna move across the LAN. So not impressed.

Am I the only one who's been affected?

Kinda kills the encoding Im doing of one of the family DVDs (Only about 20 more discs to go), cant exactly set that to resume :(

Shower time then bed for me I think...
