Why Isn't Toolbar Showing After Startup?

[Amie]

Hi, guys!

My computer was shut down, then I started it up and it booted up with icons showing (Airport, battery, time, etc.) but no actual toolbar strip. Never seen that before! So, I clicked on Finder in the Dock and then the toolbar showed like normal. I rebooted just to test it and ever since then it's booted up fine with the toolbar strip and icons.

Any idea what caused it that one time?

Thanks in advance.

One-time glitch? Choose reason from list below:
Too cold!
Too hot!
Don't watch screen for one-time glitches during boot
Always watch screen for one-time glitches during boot

(most likely cause) The earth shifted on its axis, so the Coriolis effect caused a momentary shift in the flux lines, resulting in computer disruption - and only yours

Sorry this is not too serious - but looking for a cause for a situation that may never repeat is only guesswork.
IMHO - nothing to be concerned about unless it happens again on its own - or if you can make it happen again (so it can be duplicated)
