I thought you were going to tell us how your computer got knocked out by a snowstorm that cut the power, or something like that. Or like the time I was staying in a cabin in Nothern Michigan and a huge sheet of ice and snow slid from one roof to a lower roof and created such a rumble that pictures fell off the wall and my friend hit his head on the ceiling when he woke up on the top bunk of a bunkbed.

Never heard of the book, Snow Crash.

I'll co-sign on that. That guy is my favorite author now-- snow crash, cryptonomicon, and the new one quicksilver are all insanely good.
