>>How many of you think you could fire up a UNIX box to do the same? My Linux box is fired up and running fine. I would use my Sun workstation at home more if it wasn't so old and slow. I am teaching a friend a little about Unix/Linux and he was asking me questions about crashing and how often, like it is supposed to happen or something. I told him almost never and I think that was hard for him to believe, because he is used to winblows. I was also showing him that if you did crash X-windows, or apps that the kernel will still be running fine. There is no confusion as to what is the OS, the GUI and the application in Unix like there is in Winblows. I've seen video cards/drivers crash the OS many times in windows. Now MS is trying to say that it doesn't know the difference between a browser and the OS. I just have to say I don't know what they are smokin', but I'm not that stupid.
