I was using my Mac just an hour ago and it shutdown by itself for no apparent
reason!  I wasn't doing anything (no typing, no mouse movements, etc)
except looking at the screen when it just turned itself off.  It was not
a power outage...  All other devices were on (modems, etc) except the
computer and the monitor.  I was using Red Ryder 10.3 under Multifinder w/
5megs of memory and was connected to a local UNIX site when it happened.

My only guess is that since there is a softswitch for powering the computer
with the monitor down, one of the programs must've accidently "flicked" it.
Has this happened to anyone else?  Should I even worry about the problem? (this
is the first time it happened)
