My wife was trying to burn a DVD on windows trhe other day.
Crashed her XP bos. ANd then the software would refuse to copy some
files. And refused to recognize the blank DVD. I had to burn the DVD
on Debian after that.
You should hear how often word screw up formatting for stuff
send by other word users who are using differet versions of word.

xwrits helps.
Package: xwrits
escription: reminds you to take a break from typing
xwrits helps you prevent repetitive stress injury.
.
xwrits is a small reminder program designed to let you know it is time
to take a break from typing to rest your wrists and prevent any damage
to your wrists (or at least make them feel better if you've already
damaged them). Normally works on the honor system, but if you find
yourself unable to stop typing during your break, it can also lock your
keyboard.
What is the windows equivalent for xwrits (apart from crashes)?
