Hi KC, Happy New Year to you and your family. Well, I must say, the BN crashes on occasion as well. None of these operating systems are perfect by a long shot. With Windows, though, more can go wrong, and it's more difficult to fix when it does. But we put up with it, as we really don't have a choice. Take care. Best Regards,
Les -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KC Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 9:45 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Western Digital From Amazon Hi Les, I hope your New Year is off to a good start. (It is a stormy beginning here!) You aren't alon ein being dissatisfied with Widows. It is why I prefer a Bn to a PC. At least, unless the Bn is out of order, I can read as soon as it is on. take care.
