I think my computer is possessed. I do a lot of writing on the computer for my various projects. There have been a couple instances where I had the computer turned on and just sitting on the desktop. Windows Media Player was looping through a couple of Freezepop albums while I drew out some diagrams at the computer desk. As I was drawing, I happened to look up at the screen and saw a very eerie sight. Internet Explorer had opened on its own and there it was, an open window with Google's homepage showing. I didn't do a thing, I hadn't touched the mouse or even the keyboard for that matter. I dismissed it as a simple glitch and went on with my work.I was in a similar scenario a few days ago, writing some stuff down while I was at the desk with the computer sitting there idle. Once I was finished, I went to open up Word, only to find that forty IE windows had been opened. Forty! As I watched, they kept opening. I couldn't get it to stop and ended up having to restart the computer. That isn't the only incident either. I've had a bad case of deja vu as a lot of my Blogger comments seem to have disappeared. Both on my blogspot as well as others. I'm sure there's a completely logical explanation for these occurrences. Norton 360 hasn't detected a virus, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I do have a wireless mouse and keyboard, so it could have something to do with the microwave or a roaming satellite overhead. Maybe it's even an ancient むし (Mushi) living in my computer. None the less, I've learned to take these events in stride and continue on in my endeavours on the computer. Though I don't believe in ghosts, I'm still slightly creeped out by all of these happenings. Like possessed Furbies and satanic Elmos, it's amazingly unnerving when our gizmos and gadgets seem to take on a life of their own . . . *shutter*.
