Cautious Optimism

Crispy IV is back up and running like nothing was ever wrong.

The new fan helped, but I was still getting crashes.

Moving the drives to Crispy II still gave failures.

I removed the Win7 drive from the caddy-bay after moving the movies I stored there to the main drive.

It locked up a couple times in its sleep, but would play movies all night.

Playing movies to make my brain shut down is its main job, after all.

Last night I noticed that it'd been up for a while without crashing.

So I typed "uptime" into the terminal and found that it'd been up for 22 some odd days without a crash.

So I decided to do normal stuff with her today and...

So far so good.

Almost an hour and not showing any of the symptoms of imminent failure.  One precursor was the text lagging behind the fingers while typing.
