I was typing up a paper at school and had some problems with power
fluctuations and screen distortions. I'm pretty sure it did have something
to do with the solar flares. On MSN yesterday, they explained the
resemblance of this flare to one in 1989, but the strongest on record was in
1860. (about) That 1860 flare shorted telegraph wires and set small brush
fires in europe, asia, and North America. It makes me wonder about the
stability of our sun...
