That is when I begin to sneak away from my desk. I roll the desk chair back quietly and turn to the left so I won't bump the desk or touch the track pad. Just as I am rising from my chair it will suddenly spring back to life. I will hear a BONG and the computer will reopen as though it has been asleep for the required 10 hours. Like a wakeful two year old I swear it would get up and follow me out of the room if it could.
On a few occasions I have actually unplugged the naughty machine, forcing it to be quiet for the required length of time. I have come to believe that this computer may be a living force of nature that cannot be told what it will or will not do. It is saying "yes I do know how to do the things you ask but I will never tell you how to make me do it." Thank heavens I know where the plug is located...Apple put it in a very convenient location for a good reason I think. Sigh!
