- Heard of it, but it rarely ever worked as advertised. My Amigas usually
- reboot themselves either during the software error, or sometime soon
- after suspending the app. The Amiga has no protection to
- speak of. The only way to have a stable Amiga is to avoid all apps
- except ones that have proven rock solid.
