So really I could compare my new mPower as having a portable version of a
Windows XP laptop then. Thanks for that.

Chris,
The mPower and PK are a lot more reliable than the Classic units. The
reasons for this is because of more processing power and more RAM. It is
similar to comparing a XP based system to a 98 based system, the 98 will
tend to crash more due to the lack of processing power and RAM.

Steve and all, is it true that the mPower is more reliable than the
classic in terms of how often it crashes? When Humanware Europe came out
last year to show me an mPower, the unit didn't lock up once in the 40
minutes I had with playing with it. This is actually one of the reasons
why I opted for an mPower, because of the reliability, and I was so
impressed with it. Thanks!

Hi Chris,
The BN does occasionally need resets.
They seem to be required in various situations.
I've not known one hurt yet.
There are things like: after turning on the BN won't move from "Main
menu"; the BN might decide it can't use the internal modem anymore and
just gives errors; ....
I think I usually need about one a week.
If I get into a situation I can't figure out, I often ring HW, and if
they suggest a reset, I try to remember that for next time, or a similar
next time.
So, it's not really a bug behind these issues.
It may be a number of "bugs", but with what I don't know.
Perhaps it's KeySoft, perhaps CE Windows.
I find the BN pretty good really.
It was a good idea of HW to put in a reset button though, because switch
off/on, (which is my first ploy when there's an odd problem), usually
needs a reset after it.
Regards,
Steve.
