I have had to do very few resets and I am pretty sure they were regular resets. I have a fealing it might have to do with how much use you put on the machine and whether you do e-mail and internet. As of now, I do not use my m-power for either e-mail or internet. My main reason is cost. Terry Powers

Otherwise, what a stable product.

First, The PM is the better choice if you actually want to be running Windows. Second, my sense from the discussions on this list, is that the PM does a much better job of handling Word documents. 3. The PM does run Instant Messenger, so that would be something to consider if it is important to you. I also have the impression that BN users have to perform resets much more frequently, though that could be just an impression. Just some food for thought.
