Is it irony when my Powerbook goes into sleep mode due to low battery condition, 1 second before completing a shutdown command?

It was already at the point of having terminated all the processes, the finder was gone, just an empty Hokusai desktop... sleep. I swapped the battery and woke it up. I glanced at my Hokusai for ONE SECOND before the machine powered off.

I don't believe that there wasn't a single second's worth of juice left in that battery.

My laptop likes to splash the "switch to AC power or you'll lose everything you've worked so goddamned hard on these last 3.5 hours" screen 5 nanoseconds before shutting itself off and trapping the jump drive.

On the other hand, having + 5 nanoseconds is better than - 1 second to prepare. :-)
