Hey, just wanted to make a quick note to let you know that my comuter has spontaneously shut off four times in the past hour, in spurts as short as 10 minutes.
So I'm writing/posting this as quickly as possible before it does it again.

Please be patient with me - I want to get the comic out as usual, but I'm having a lot of trouble diagnosing the problem here.
Most of you are warm, wonderful people who totally understand.
To the one or two of you who's just dying to write me a nasty e-mail about how unprofessional I am, please do not do so until the new computer you've bought for me has arrived on my doorstep.
For reference, my office colors are mainly blue and light grey, and I'd like to try a Mac.
