That sounds like the very same one IBM had. Judging from the sticker on
it, it was leased from and serviced by an outside company.

I'm not sure I notice the crash. Or perhaps that 30 oz kicker every
morning keeps my blood/caffiene ratio so high it never reaches crash
level before I have the next one next morning. I only sleep ~4 hours a
night, and very lightly at that. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, as
we have a cocker spaniel who waits very patiently for about thirty
seconds by the back door for someone to let her out before crapping on
the floor. So when she goes downstairs in the middle of the night, her
footfalls on the (carpeted) stairs wakes me and I run down to let her
out.

I don't wonder anymore, just revel in it.
