- When my Mac SE started doing this a few month ago, I took it back to the
- store (it still had warranty on it), but they told me that they couldn┤t
- find that it had problems. I was irritated because this thing still occured,
- so I went to the dealer┤s again. All that repeated 3 (THREE!!!) times, and I
- gave up by now.

- Since the problem occurs right the way you described it, I think it┤s the
