Dan, >>Irritating as this incident was, it wasn't unusual. In fact, it was just one of 23 incidents I recorded over a seven-day period in which six different Windows PCs I was using either crashed, froze or exhibited other unexpected or puzzling behavior. The problems ranged from unreadable file formats in e-mail to complete failures of the PC. Eleven of the 23 incidents were so bad they required me to stop working and reboot the PC, a process that took up to four minutes, even on a very fast, very new Dell computer. All part of that uniformity and integrity experience thing attached to the Windows revolution in ease-of-use. My personal favorite is doing manual refreshes on NT Explorer whenever the file system changes. Notice how Bill cleverly avoids the "recall" system when comparing his software operation with the auto industry. If 40 million new cars exhibited 23 failures in 7 days, 11 of which required the car take 4-minutes to restart, there would be some serious class-action suits in play. Cheers, Norm
