Windoze crash (was Re: Well, I was at Fry's in CA...)

        My experience is that the people who have problems with Windows are the
people who *want* to have problems with Windows. I have several Win2K boxen
here whose only reason for being rebooted every few months is robbing
harddrives or CD drives. I also have Linux boxen here, one that currently
has an uptime of 187 days. No major record, but it got a new 60GB HD back
then.

        I use Windows pretty hard, with a fairly constant set of software (mapping,
CAD software, IE, ProComm, CD ripping, a few other things), and I don't get
BSODs or crashes.

        Perhaps this person should switch an an OS more suited to their expectations.
Like pencil and paper.
