Lots of computer trouble today, all of which boiled down to one bad application and its apparently corrupt data file. I had been using Magic Notes to keep some sticky notes on my desktop. It's been working fine, but apparently the data file that holds the notes got messed up bad enough for the program to crash, taking the entire system with it. Since this was happening while the sytem was booting, I had to do a "process of elimination" thing to narrow it down to Magic Notes. I don't think I'll be relying on this program anymore, since I really don't like the idea of a simple utility program that can take out the whole system so readily, nor do I like the idea that the data file is not in an easily-recoverable format.

Oh well. I went through the process of finding a decent sticky note program about a year ago, and now I need to do it again. Maybe this time I'll find something a little more reliable.
