Subject: cold laptops are no good & reiser rules

Had a bit of a scare this morning. Thought I'd share my experience so no
one else goes through the same thing.
I forgot my laptop in the car last night so it was a little cold when I
hit the on button. It turns out that cold laptops don't work well. After
opening a few applications the drive started making noise and the system
froze. First thing that popped into my head was that the drive was going
bad.
During a reboot it tells me that somethings wrong with the drive and
stops. Again I'm thinking that my drive just died on me.
After a couple of reboots the screen looks brighter and everything
works. Guess it needed to worm up a bit. From now on I'm only booting
worm laptops.
Thank God for reiser fs. Without that I'd be reinstalling Debian.
