Yup. Sure...

Don't call me Mr. Lag. My first name is not DeMoN, my last name is not
Lag. you can call me "Sir" if you like, but don't call me Mr. Lag. Of
the 15 or so times I've had Win 2k bluescreen:
3 were due to crappy sound drivers that I've since replaced
6 were due to overclocking (either pushing bus to far, not enough
voltage, etc)
the rest are due to IE. I've never had Unreal blue screen me (I've had
it crash, but it was a simple restart UT and I'm playing again). I've
never had Allegiance BSOD me, I've never had Asheron's Call BSOD me,
never had Mozilla BSOD me, never had Netscape 4.x BSOD me. I've had IE5
do it, I've had IE5.5 do it, and I've had IE 6 public beta and two
private builds do it. If you have never had IE crash your entire
system, I ask you again:
Do you actually browse the web with it or do you simply open it and
stare at a blank page?

So you never used IE4 on Win 95?
