Weird. I live in an old house, built the same year the Titanic went down. The power is pretty good, but given my neighborhood, once in a blue moon, the power has been known to go out for a fraction of a second. This morning it did just that. The lights flickered, the TV went out, but the clocks kept their time. Thats good because I hate having to reset them.
Didn't think anything of it until I went to get on my Mac this morning. Last night all was working fine and I shut down (still in a PC mode of thinking I suppose, plus didn't intend to be on it until tomorrow). Hit the power button. Nothing. Huh? Waited a minute and tried again. Notta. I checked and my surge protector is on, speakers have a power light, but no iMac?
Anyway I shut the surge protector off for about a minute, powered back up, and my Mac fired right up. Should I be concerned? Or would you chock it up to a weird hiccup?
