(By the way, I'm a different Tim) I think most of us on this list agree that the one single reason why the PC is so UNSTABLE is that one operating system is written to handle all of the minor differences in all of the multitude of PC manufacturers. Having to be able to support quirk A from Compaq and quirk B from Dell and quirk C from Gateway doesn't lend itself to stability. I repeat....BSOD, BSOD, BSOD!
