Well, NAFAIK - it's a laptop, and it's done the same thing on two different continents, airplanes, multiple apartments/offices etc. It's also worked fine for hours in the same environment(s)... It's been known to do it a good 15 ft from the nearest other electrical device, doesn't matter if it's on a network (wired or unwired) or not. If I could provoke it, I'd maybe have a shot at doing something about it, however putting it ON a SunFire 280R when I was using it as a console didn't seem to cause it, so... As another poster says he gets the same thing under Win2K, maybe it's the device itself that does this from time-to-time. Pity..
