Do Macs get Jealous

My new Powermac arrived today, however, in what I can only consider a fit of Jealousy, my Cube started to freak out about 2 hours before it arrived. I tried talking to it, telling it that I still loved it, but nothing seemed to work. I was playing some MP3s for a friend and the cube crashed, on restart it simply would not remount the firewire drives. Disk utility could see the drives but mounting just silently failed. I was able to trace it down to somehow /var/run had gotten deleted. So far, attempts to restore it have been unsuccessful. The machine runs, but won't mount any media and has several other glitches because of this. I may need to reinstall it which is the first time this has ever been necessary on any of my Macs. It sucks, and is quite disappointing. The machine is currently slated to replace my fathers PC in the hope that he can have an easier time with it then we've had with Windows. I don't know, maybe I should buy it some new RAM or something to show it I still love it. Err, maybe I also need to find a new girlfriend too, yep think so.
