Now that my A500 gave me a major scare the other day, I'd like to know:

What does it mean when it boots up to a green screen, and the red led
flashes twice in succession, followed by a pause (continuously)?  

This has been covered before, I know... but, in my infinite wisdom, I
saw fit to simply ignore it... cuz my computer worked, why would I need
that info?  :-)   Now that my machine is acting up, I promise
to save and print out this information so I can refer to it forever and
ever.  Amen.
