Well, I can tell you that my Macs *are* intelligent, and they know they
have failed. Whenever one of them starts up after a crash I get a dialog
box telling me that it was shut down improperly, and to please do it right
next time.

Oh, by the way, God used a Mac to aid her in designing the Multiverses, and
used and HP 3000 as her back-end database engine!!
