Well, maybe. The main cooling fan on the Qube is beginning to make awful sounds, and it may be near to dying. If I go offline for an extended period, and you don't see top rotation pictures, it probably means the Qube has gone to computer heaven.

In that case it will be useless for you to send me email about it. I get my email through the exact same wire that you get the top rotation pictures through. If it doesn't work one way, it won't work the other either.

(By the way, please note that I am not asking for suggestions or advice.)

UPDATE: It's still doing it intermittently, and I don't want to leave it running while I'm asleep. So I'm going to turn it off now and go to bed. Tomorrow morning I'll open it up and blow out all the dust, in hopes that'll fix the problem.

Until that's happened, you won't be able to see the top rotation pictures, and I won't have any access to the internet, including receiving email.

UPDATE: Next morning. I just opened it up and blew lots of compressed air into it, paying particular attention to the CPU cooling fan. Now it's running again and I don't hear any awful noises, so maybe we're in luck.
