Another Power Outage (11/3/97)
SceneLink
 

Hmm, Webintosh is reporting that on top of all of Power Computing's other worries, their online store has apparently been shut down. Whether this is an indication of further financial difficulties ("Honey, did you remember to pay the e-commerce bill?"), a symptom of a larger organized sabotage campaign, or a pure and utter coincidence still remains to be seen.

We still harbor dark and scary suspicions about a continuing Apple vendetta against Power Computing for the ruckus they kicked up last August at the height of the Clone Wars. But then, we also felt that the season premiere of the X-Files wasn't nearly paranoid enough.

Why did you tune in to this '90s relic of a soap opera?
Nostalgia is the next best thing to feeling alive
My name is Rip Van Winkle and I just woke up; what did I miss?
I'm trying to pretend the last 20 years never happened
I mean, if it worked for Friends, why not?
I came here looking for a receptacle in which to place the cremated remains of my deceased Java applets (think about it)
