Now the machine has locked up with 1.90/5.32GB downloaded, looks like it
gorked when the screen sleep or whatever kicked in.

Crappy support from Apple -- they really only want you to use a device
for a year or two and buy another one, in spite of the fact that
usually their hardware is very robust -- I'm using a MDD G4 dual
1.25GHz desktop to write this with zero issues once I got good memory
in it.
The root issue is bad security development in the first place, and
since it's Unix, that goes back a long, long way. No excuse,
especially at the price point, but it is what it is.
Microsoft is STILL trying to kill off XP, after all. Sadly, it was by
far the most stable OS they ever produced. I've not had serious
problems with 7 at work, and I detest 8, but it's too early to tell.
I do abhor the new Office package. Some idiot decided that all the
menus needed to be changed around and everything re-named, and the
whole screen is now pastels and low contrast -- I hope whoever decided
that gets fired when they are 55 because they made a stupid mistake
from being unable to read the options list....
