My system does get turned off every day. It has never crashed.

Try leaving it on. See how many days it stays running without crashing. Also, how much time do you spend using it, how many different applications/functions do you use in a given day, and is it in a network with other computers? If it had high, differentiated usage, over a network, without being shutdown everyday, I suspect that you'd have it crashing quite regularly. This is what happens on the PC on my desk at work. Contrast this with my Sun Solaris box, which gets much more use in a given day and has never crashed yet. In my experience over the last 8 years with Sun Solaris machines, I have only had my desktop machine crash a handful of times.

I really don't give a rats posterior whether you believe me or not.

Darn, I thought it would make you cry.

I'm curious to know if all you who "own too much MSFT" think it was a bunch of whining liberals who broke up AT&T? Why everyone loved their rotary phones, why break them up? Call forwarding, ISDN, who needs all that crap. And Standard Oil? what a bunch of commies who broke that up. Why giving away a product until you bankrupt your enemy is capitalism at its best.

Why can't you closed-minded, Rush lovers learn from the past and stop only thinking about your money stuck where the sun doesn't shine?

Why CAN'T you learn from the past?

James -

One of the primary problems with 95 AFAIK is what's known as a memory leak. If your usage doesn't require your leaving your computer on long enough to use all the available memory and start panicing, you wouldn't see a crash (lucky you!). On the other hand, I seem to be able to crash 95/NT merely by looking at the box sideways. Maybe they can sense my Unix internals thought patterns?
