When my laptop system crashed a few months back, I brought it back. But it wasn't the same. It stuttered when playing This American Life. The cursor jumped all over the place. I tried to find settings to fix these things but nothing worked. But then they started to fix themselves. The cursor was first. Out of the blue it just settled down and started acting normally. I am now noticing that the recordings of This American Life are playing back well. Could it be that XP has reached a point where it emulates a human to the extent that it can repair itself sometimes? ?? Is this some secret government program?
