I don't think I have ever made it more than 2 or 3 days with any version of windows except NT without having to reboot or experiencing a Blue Screen of Death Ouch! If I had those problems I too would be going for NT. However, I go many months - actually can't remember when the last '95 death appeared. S.W. okay, how do I use the "i" without it affecting all my paragraphs? Here's a suggestion..so the "i" and "b" don't show up in the heading, give your reply a heading first, without the i or b, to make the message board and headings looking cleaner.

>>Consider yourself lucky. I am certainly not a typical user but that is a 2 or 3 time a day occurance for me. I don't think I have ever made it more than 2 or 3 days with any version of windows except NT without having to reboot or experiencing a Blue Screen of Death. NT on the other hand is quite stable once configured properly I can routinely go 2-4 Week without crashing or having to reboot. Still not Unix but getting better....<< Out of curiosity are the problems that make you reboot your computer frequently caused by Win 95 or are they caused by the programs you run. Yes I agree with you that you should be able to recover from a program crashing without having to reboot you computer like you can with Win NT and Win NT is a much better environment for software development. But to many times I have seen people blame Win 95 when the problem was caused by bugs in an application program.
